My new and first MTB!!! Loving it so far!!

I'm also training for my first 50K and I've been curious about the different mentalities between training for road races vs ultras. It's like the normal training rules (% of long run vs weekly mileage, the 3 hours max long run thing, the obsession with pace and splits) don't apply. The transition has been pretty…

"The subject was a catch phase to gather attention" ... Well done OP, we all know that you like to get attention by saying things that aren't true. Just another day in MFP's forums. :D

It's my IT Band. It's bad... Very bad. :'( I might still run the marathon but it won't be a PR/BQ attempt for sure; there is no way.

In for 175 miles as I'll be tapering and recovering from a marathon. I'll probably come a bit short of my April's goal but eh, things happen :)
