Today I did a 16-mile training for my 50K ultra in December.
Everything seemed to click! The weather was gorgeous, my legs felt strong, and I felt like I could have kept going beyond the 16.6 miles I ran.
Ultra marathoning isn't just about how far you can run. It's about teaching your body to keep on going while taking care of it along the way. I'm feeling stronger, more confident, and more excited about the race on Dec. 5.
If you've ever finished a marathon and then asked, "What's next?", trying out an ultra might be the best thing you can do!
