I would shoot for 100 loops each weekend. I did that for like 6 or 7 weeks in the build up. Everyone is different though. I like to also run them pretty hard. But in the end it is about time on your feet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-974646169745297702007-12-29T11:37:00.000-06:002007-12-29T11:37:00.000-06:00I don't know!You'd be better off asking someone wh...I don't know!<BR/><BR/>You'd be better off asking someone who's done a lot of those, like Allan Holtz or maybe Pierre Ostor.<BR/><BR/>I've always assumed that it was impossible to get that kind of training done in Minnesota. Holtz does it by treadmill.<BR/><BR/>As a rough guess, I'd say proportion your elevation change/weekly mileage to match the race as close as possible.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-88508654840524814882007-12-28T20:48:00.000-06:002007-12-28T20:48:00.000-06:00Hope the ankle feels better, are you coming out to...Hope the ankle feels better, are you coming out tomorrow morning to EP? Here's a question that I figured you would have an opinion on if anybody would.<BR/><BR/>Let's suppose somebody was going to do a 100 mile race with 40,000' of elevation change (20k/20k). How much weekly elevation change should this person see in their weekly training program leading up to the race? I'm thinking this is a number I'm going to track in 2008, I just don't know what number I should be trying to achieve.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849269818759114691noreply@blogger.com
