100km - Am I Cooked?
Just signed up for a 100km of single track in the fall. My milage until now has been pretty poor but 2 years ago I ran a trail 50km just for fun as a weekly long run. I rely on what some refer to as “the ghost of fitness past” from when I used to xc ski race, doing high weekly volume of regular 15-20+hrs (maybe 1/3 running). But that was 5 years ago or so.
I’ll likely build up to 40km long runs on the trail by the end of August and do other long sessions on the bike, or bike/run combo sessions. With some other 1-2hr runs mixed into the week.
I know if I walk and take breaks I can probably make it to the finish line. But realistically how much of a hurt am I in for lol?
I’ve got June, July, and August to get cracking. Any training or race tips would be appreciated.
