Hursty I hope so. Three weeks over 100k in June, a 50k training run a month from now, and 3 weeks over 110k by mid-august. If I can get enough hill training in, I should be ok. I want to enjoy it and hopefully be able to “race” it without death marching.
Heat is a massive obstacle, no shame in getting the medics involve haha. The course I’m doing (same as my 50k last fall, just two loops this time) is pretty exposed and parts are in a valley that heat up and get little airflow. Last year was 20 degrees, which was perfect, but if it’s anywhere near 30, it’s a completely different beast.
What kind of weekly volume are you doing? The thought of 100 miles is still so foreign to me. Unless I accidentally really love this 100k, I’m thinking more frequent, much shorter races next year.
Edit: Nutrition is good, I think. Slow drip tailwind, eating a combination of “real” food, aiming for 100 calories every 20 minutes, 60-80 grams of carbs per hour, with a little protein/fat in the form of almonds and cashews.
