one of the ultrarunning email lists of which i'm a member posed a simple question earlier today:  what are your goals for 2011, and since i think it will hopefully kickstart my training to have some stated goals, i put them down, and since some might be curious, my response to the list was as follows:

run a fast 100 (another sub-20, maybe sub-19, maybe even a little crazier than that...)
run an epic 100 (in the eye of the beholder, i suppose, but i'm the beholder, so....)
snag some more pr's in 5k, 10k, marathon, 50k

run a crap ton in between (yes, crap-ton is a unit of distance)

 

let's see if i can catch one or more of these...

a crap-ton of mileage is the best kind of mileage...

Yup, found the other crapper today...

So what is an "epic" 100? And if you can set 5k and 10k PR's while seriously training for a 100 mile, you're a better man than I.

allie: i concur in full

jon: in my own head, an epic 100 would either be a particularly hard one or a particularly historic/storied one. think leadville, hardrock, (dare i say it...) barkley, etc...

and for what it's worth, i ran a pr 5k (16:36) less than a month after a pr 100 miler (19:42:53). i think this speaks more to my underperforming in my 5k's than anything else, as i'm convinced that it was entirely due to an insanely high amount of base miles/aerobic capacity from the ultra training...
