Moving to Apex at the end of summer. I’m out of state. Does anyone have amazing primary care doctor or dentists that they love? Thanks!

I signed up for my first 50k for January 2027. I’ve trained for a half marathon before but that’s the longest I’ve ran. I tried to use chat gpt and google to create a plan lol. I’m struggling to find the right plan to build well and prevent injury.

What should my peak weekly mileage be? Can I start with four runs a week and build to five to prevent early burnout?

I still plan to lift 3-4 times a week to prevent injury too.

Little background if it matters - was running 18 miles a week for about a year and a half, got a knee injury a few months ago due to a fall and mix of not training legs like I should have been. Built back up to 15 miles a week and just completed Hyrox nyc in June. Took about 2 full weeks off running for a trip in Italy but I was walking 10 miles a day atleast lol. This week I’m officially back and running 15 miles but my longest run is only going to be 5 miles to ease back in.

If anyone has any tips, advice, training plans that they’ve used and worked - let me know! Thanks!

Thinking about signing up for the southern tour ultra in Wilmington nc. This will be my first ultra. It’s flat but the terrain description scares me. I only ever run on roads, pavement, track etc. how would I train for sand if I’m not near any? Should I look for another race or give it a shot?

The course says this:

The course is primarily flat, featuring natural rolling flows without steep climbs. However, the challenge lies in its variety: packed sand paths, single-track trails, and bush-hogged routes through dense woods. This dynamic terrain will keep runners engaged and rewarded with unparalleled scenery.
