Race: 100k Goal: Break 7:43:37 PR
The only reason I'm posting my training is when I entered the sport, it was rare to get a blow by blow discription of how people trained. Sure, you could get an occasional glimpse of how the legends trained, including fellow Pennsylvanians Park Barner, Nick Marshall, Charlie T., Neil W., Chris Gibson and Steve Molnar, but the current ultra list goes into little detail. I question if they ever became tired, hurt, or just had bad days. Back in the late 70's I bought two books which defined the way I train even today. They were, "The Self-Made Olympian" by Ron Daws and "Serious Runner's Handbook" by Tom Osler. My conclusion has always been this, you need a plan, need to be flexible with the schedule, need to rest and need to work on cruising speed.
I am not a good 100k runner, except for that one race. I will come down and throw my hat into the ring. Like ultra legend Clem Grum says when you ask him what he's running for, he says, "for life."
That's me to.

jslug,
Would love to see your training logs for your best 100 mile trail races. If I do one this summer maybe I could get a look at how the southerners train. I lived in Florida 13 years and promptly quit running. Don't know how you run in the heat. Actually a guy formerly from Atlanta got me back into running and ultras. Bill Hintze, every heard of him? We were teammates in college.
See you in several weeks.
Double

Bill Hintze is a good friend of mine. Lives in Fort Collins now and is training for Leadville!

Get out of town! Of course we know Bill. Ya know he holds a FatAss of his own now out in Fort Collins.
Sure thing on the training logs. For the most part I was running about 300 miles every month (ie very consistent) and doing lots of speed work. We were doing this relay thing that summer so I was doing miler training at the same time. I think I got down to the low 5:30s that year. Strange mix but it worked at the time.
look forward to meeting you, jslug

I just looked over the updated list of competitors for the SCUR 100k. Very impressive for a first year race and still 18 days out. It is shaping up to be a pretty competitive field. Can't wait for it to be a huge success and even bigger and better in 2006.

Several of us on the cross-country team at Slippery Rock have kept in touch over the years. Towards the end of 1998 and close to 210 pounds, I told Bill I was beginning to run again. My first run was a half-mile. Bill encouraged me to think about something different and he told me about ultras. He thought I'd be good at them because I'm thicker on the bottom and seldom got hurt. Somehow my fragile ego got around that and I signed up for a road 50k in March, 1999 which was scantly over 4 months later. I finished, bruised and battered, but was hooked. We met for the Fleet Farms 50k around Memphis at the end of 1999 and had a blast. Believe it or not, I caught Bill w/ less than 50 yards left and nipped him at the line.
I've talked about going to Colorado with the family as I have never been there. Secretly, I want to run an ultra, but that doesn't go over to well when your on vacation. In fact it doesn't go over at all.
I am looking forward to running this 100k. It is great to see more and more people signing up. It is a lonely distance to race over the roads and is the most physically/mentally challenging event I have ever done bar none. This will be my 5th year in a row doing a road 100k and perhaps the last. I have never quite figured out the whole 100k road puzzle and never will. Perhaps that is why I keep coming back. I don't know why, it hurts like heck!

That is really cool that Bill helped get you back into running and into running ultras, no less
CO is a cool place so I hope you get to go out there sometime. I'd love to go out and do a 3 day run from town to town out there.
We look forward to meeting you in person at SCUR. now is time for rest?

Good luck this week to all those racing at SCUR! May the wind be at your back, the road rise to meet you and God Almighty smile upon you as you run.
