Hursty Thanks, Iām actually looking forward to the structure and pushing myself again. Iāve just finished 12 weeks of upper zone 2 base work, so threshold feels very different. Did both sessions on trails with fresh snow at -10/-15 degrees. The weather has been horrific this month, hoping it warms up soon.
Thatās a good 50k time, especially under-trained. Iām hoping for 6 hours in September, thatās with about 1100 meters of ascent. Iāve got a 5 hour stretch goal in the back of my head, but Iām not going to worry about that until I get into July or so.
Iāve got a similar length (13 km I think) trail race in early may, hence putting some speed work back in now. Those distances are a lot of fun, but yeah, they hurt.
