hi
im getting ready to try my first 100 on 10-10
just thinking this might be a good place to post
Hello eveyone.
I have been lurking in here for about a week or so now. I am planning on my first Ultra this spring (DWD 50 miler) and thought I might be able to learn a little bit from all of you. I am not a fast runner by any means but I do enjoy the challenges it has to offer and take pride in that.

Welcome Hawk4932
I am assuming you are going to HELL to do DWD50?
We have a DWD in WI
I used to live down in St Joe MI for 3 years - Didn't run back then - just drank, ate and worked a lot.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

Dopple Bock,
Actually we are going to Gnaw Bone in May. I won't be in this Beautiful Country when the Hell race is run. I may be a few thousand miles away. I have talked my running buddy (Corland) into it as well. Neither of us have ran farther than a Marathon before so it should be interesting. Also, whats wrong with Drinking, Eating and Working as long as you add a little running in as well. Hell, I am drinking right now. Cheers
Fatozzig,
I can relate about the training. I have been doing a little research on it aleady. We don't plan on ramping up our training until Dec-Jan. Cory is looking at 80-100 weeks where as I am thinking 60-70. Good luck on your Ultra.
Fatozzig, Good luck on your Ultra.
Good luck on your Ultra.
Thanks. My hub will need it.
As mentioned above, I'm new here too. I don't know any ultra runners IRL, so I hope to find some online help. I've run 6 marathons in the past 3 years. They were all goal races. My 4th marathon was my best, despite training significantly harder for the last two.
I need something different. I hope that adding more long, slow distance in the spring will improve my mararthon time next fall. I really don't have an ultra goal, other then finishing.
I've already learned some things from all of you. thanks
Newbie here...
I consider myself to be reasonably computer literate, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to post a topic on the ultra runners forum. Please help.
