I'll forward you the link to look at when I get home. Also, I've heard the book "Relentless Forward Progress" is a great resource. <br /><br />Good luck! Looking forward to keeping up with your training.Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-52225706618933454492012-01-04T00:08:01.989-05:002012-01-04T00:08:01.989-05:00WOW!

I've never gone longer than a half mary but if I ever jump into something as long as a trail 50k, I would drop some money on different socks, shoes, and lube until I found what resulted in the least blisters for me.

You will do awesome.

Practice on trails as much as you can to get familiar with it. I even try running off the edge of the road somedays to work on uneven footing since I won't venture onto a trail alone.abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956734205798602159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-75136182508937297222012-01-03T14:46:22.834-05:002012-01-03T14:46:22.834-05:00Awesome!!!

Both of the runs that I have done are single file on a single track, extremely narrow. You walk the uphills and jog and run the rest. My rule is always to protect myself and make sure that you have your footing first because it's so easy to roll an ankle or take a bad step! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I would do nothing but trail races if I could.Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855701495072852475.post-25386270722329502642012-01-03T14:10:32.012-05:002012-01-03T14:10:32.012-05:00Wow!
