I'm finally going to do it!
I started training today, so I've got a several weeks to ramp my miles back up from a 55k a few weeks ago.
My first road marathon! WOOT!!
The farthest I've run on a road this year is 7 miles, my last road race was a half marathon this time LAST year, so I've got a few things to work out. Like, everything. ha ha ha.
Tomorrow, I have to do a 2 mile trial run to make a new pace chart for road training, and then Saturday I've got a 15 miler. eek! so far on the road, so FAR!
Anyone go from mostly trail ultras to running a road marathon have any tips for a more smooth transition? Anything that might surprise me? (I don't want any surprises during the race!) Any information about what to expect is welcome!
