Back at it...

I didn’t realize it had been 5 years since I posted.  Over 5, actually.   That is what happens when you try to keep racing, and have a real job and lots of kids!  Since then I’ve ran, wouldn’t necessarily say raced, five 50k’s, the Uwharrie 40 and a 50 miler.  Since it has been over 5 years since doing my first 100, it is time to try my go at running around in the woods for an extraordinarily long time.  Myself and two friends signed up for the Uwharrie 100 in October.  36 hour cutoff, with 17k of vert.  Having done the 50k in 2019, I know what kind of joy...and misery....I am in for.  I’m coming off the back end of a calf injury I picked up closing out the dumpster fire that was 2020, but have a good start to a training plan that is a mix of running and time on the Peloton.  Having found precisely zero folks out there talking about how to supplement ultra training with a Peloton, I decided to pick back up my writing.  

Training yesterday - 45 minute PowerZone Endurance Ride with @oamoto

Training today - easy 3 miles on the pavement

On the books for tomorrow - Peloton...like I said, calf injury...
