@jawsultra: Things got out of hand when running an ultra to train for another ultra became a normal thing. Somewhere along the way I crossed an invisible line where a “long run” stopped meaning 10 miles and started meaning, “I’ll be gone for several hours, see you tonight.” At this point I’ve fully accepted that my definition of normal has become concerning to the average person. “How far are you running today?” “Oh nothing crazy, just enough miles to prepare my legs for the miles I’ll need to prepare for even more miles.” I’m not sure if this is peak fitness or a very specific form of insanity anymore. #Running #Fitness #motivation #mindset.
I’m training for my first 50k in November and am doing a 20 mile race as my last long run before I taper. I figure it will be good practice for getting in and out of aid stations

I just ran an ultra Friday night to train for a marathon, non-runners won't understand our idea of fun 😆 🤣

It’s also the ‘can’t find an ultra to train for an ultra so I’ll just run to the start of the marathon next weekend to make up the miles’
