You'll be a finely tuned running machine by the time American River comes around. What was the big(?) course change for AR in 2014? I saw something mentioned about a course re-route but didn't follow the link to read up on it. Usually the first 25 miles or so are all on the American River bike trail, which is a paved multi-use path that heads towards the foothills from Sacramento. Looks like they're doing away with most of that and you start in Folsom (kind of near where the old route turned to trail) and head back towards Sac before turning back toward the hills. So almost all of it is on dirt now. _________________________

Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	Originally Posted By: lessthanmike What kind of training plans are you guys using for the 50k's...I've looked a bunch up and they all are different. I've never followed a plan (other than for my failed BQ attempt), but for my 50k, I just devoted as much time as I could to running on the trails with hills. For me that meant at least 2 days a week. The rest of the time were normal road days. I think I averaged around 45 miles a week leading up to it, with my longest run being the marathon I did a month before. _________________________

I'm sort of surprised they changed things up since they weren't hurting for entrants. As for a 50K training plan, I'm with Chris regarding a lack of formalized training - but I bet if you followed a solid marathon training plan and incorporated back-to-back long runs on the weekends you'd be more than ready for it. Have you picked a race yet? Race specific training may be a good idea too if it's going to be a course with a lot of technical trails or climbing. _________________________

I love the idea of the front bottles, but the ultimate direction ones just didnt fit me right. I tried this one on and fell in love, you can adjust it to fit perfectly. Plus there are so many nooks and crannies. _________________________ Paki: 3:36

If that new version is half as nice as my original, and all accounts seem to say it's even better, then it's the most comfortable pack I've worn. You're going to love it dude Chris, what're you going to be using for hydration at American River? _________________________

Sir Ironpool Sir Ironpool Sponsored by Toyota Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/12/01 Posts: 71803 Loc: Long Beach, CA	My buddy wore that at States and loved it. I'll probably just go with a handheld...maybe two. I like my Ultraspire pack, but I don't know that I'll need it. AR is usually pretty cool, and I eat almost entirely off the course, so it would probably just be extra weight. I really like the AK vest though. $\:D$ _________________________

2000SiRacer 2000SiRacer Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 42801 Loc: Colorado	I set some PRs yesterday!! I've got a "standard circuit" here on the front of Emerald Mountain. I used to run it a few times a week but yesterday I noticed I hadn't run it since 9/8 because I've been really stoked on a new set of trails. I decided rather last minute then to attempt a PR, even on tired legs from a grueling group run on Wednesday (I run with a bunch of middle aged guys who have all done Hardrock, Leadville, Western States, etc and I always run harder than I want to at these weekly runs), before this big snow storm moved in. I felt great the whole way up and was breathing much easier than my previous PR even though my legs were dying by the time I got to the "Lane of Pain" 450' of vert in 1/2 mile right at the top. Brutal. Google Earth says it's 1,650' of climb with an average grade of 11.1%. I dropped my ascent PR from 38:09 to 36:27 and my descent PR from 20:27 to 20:02 (so close!) for a roundtrip PR of 56:29, down from 59:40 previously. All things considered, I'm really excited about this! Clearly my long runs over the past 4 weeks are paying off and this little time trial confirms what I've intuitively been feeling. I keep reminding myself though that JFK is not a mountainous course. I really need to start forcing myself to do long, flat runs but that'll probably mean a treadmill for the time being and that makes me $\:\($ EDIT: And since I'm a nerd I also have two splits along the way to the summit and I PR'd both of them as well for a completely clean sweep. Oh yeah EDIT2: Just got back from running this route (14 min slower) in 12" of fresh powder! In shorts! I'm a bit cold but bombing down a 20% grade in fresh snow was AWESOME!

lessthanmike lessthanmike Major Member Registered: 09/01/03 Posts: 1486 Loc: Cleveland, Ohio	Well shit just got real....I made an impulse decision and signed up for the full iron distance next year. It's not an Ironman (WTC) race but the distance is the same, I couldn't pass up the early prices. It's hosted at Cedar Point, and less than an hour drive. I've done the half (70.3) before and know the bike course really well. http://rev3tri.com/ _________________________ NOHC--D, Because she knows I couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a handful of pardons.

2000SiRacer 2000SiRacer Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 42801 Loc: Colorado	Nice! Just looked up the Cedar Point event - September 2014 should be plenty of time to get into full Ironmom shape But the real question is, does anyone get this tattooed on their calf afterward? $\:D$ In unrelated news, I just ran 15 miles on a fucking treadmill. I got a book on tape from the library to pass the time - turns out Orwell's 1984 was a poor decision. And afterwards I look in the mirror and see a bright patch of blood on my shirt over my right nipple. Awesome _________________________

It wasn't my first choice, but sometimes you gotta do things. I did three hours (1:20 up and down Emerald Mtn and 1:40 flat) yesterday and the trails were even muddier from snow melt today. I have to get in flat mileage somehow or JFK is going to suck. And this place doesn't have a lot of flat; my choices are seriously A) back and forth on a 6 mile bike path or B) a rolling dirt country road I can drive to. I'll take it over not having much climbing but it's ironic that I train for climby races in Wisconsin and flat races in Colorado And Chris: jealous!

Wrong. I'll be using the bike path in all but the hairiest icy conditions now. Which 50K are you running? And is Chris doing Quad Dipsea as well?

I just realized the Bootlegger 50k is the same weekend as a big Boy Scout rocketry outing to the middle of the Mojave. So I have to send my son with some other parents, drive out for the race Friday night, race Saturday morning, then hop straight in the car and drive 3 hours back out to the desert and camp out that night, then drive home Sunday afternoon. _________________________

Yesterday I got up at 5:30am to try and get in 25 miles before all of our plans for the day start. I finish my run and collapse on our front lawn for maybe 10 seconds when the kids run out and jump on me and my wife comes out and opens the car door and goes "oh good youre back, we are meeting my sister at the farmers market, lets roll." _________________________ Paki: 3:36

Went down to Moro Canyon ( my closest trail system) and knocked out my usual 7 mile, 1500 foot route in a decent 1:07. Felt pretty strong and didn't notice any of the fatigue I've been feeling on my last few runs. Plan is to get at least 2 runs a week down there. _________________________

I ran the Cleveland Rock'n'Roll Half yesterday. I was really under trained for the hills, the largest one was around mile 10.5 and killed my average(almost brought me to a walk). _________________________ NOHC--D, Because she knows I couldn't get laid in a women's prison with a handful of pardons.

Was feeling great after what seemed like an effortless 10 miles at 9 minute pace only to have calf pain a few days later after a 2 mile quick run. Was going to do a half next weekend but now my knee is sore so not going to push it. _________________________ 03 c-rv

I'm getting really excited for this one. Biggest and oldest in the country, should be an adventure! With 1,100 runners and 2.5 miles of road before funneling down onto AT single track I'm considering the (admittedly) brash move of going out hard to avoid getting bottlenecked. Eek. We'll see how that goes - I'd rather be getting passed than be the one having to waste energy jumping around people. _________________________
