Moon Shot

I’ve never trained for an Ultra Marathon before. I’m going to give some more incite to my current training level below. I think it will be fun for everyone to track along with my training log and have a look at my training to this point.

Note: These screen shots don’t give total mileage but they do show # of work outs, total time spent and average time spent running.

When I look these screen shots I get very nervous about running a 100 miler. I’ve laid out a baby step approach with stack runs and off ramps at this moon shot attempt. With 1 stack run completed my thought process is that my next stack might as well be 100 miles because if I can’t complete it then this moon shot will be shut down and a new plan established.

Training to this point:
