My training is probably not your usual Ultra schedule. With work and family I do what I can, when I can. During the week I do three 10 K runs in the morning before work. On the other 2 days I swim for an hour about 80-90 lengths. Usually work on Saturdays takin daown the big ones. Sundays are the most important running day where I will do between 20-60 K. When I go really long I usually try to do it at night (good practice for the hundred miler). As I get closer to the hundred I may cut out swimming and add runs. I will also have a few longer runs of 50 miles and max out at 100 K.
I did do a little running in December, just not what I am used to. Probably half what I normally do and missed a few long runs because I had to drive a plow truck at work.
Ya, I believe running realy helps with the long days. I can go for a long time after everyone else is dragging their butts.
Southern Ontario, so today pretty much all the snow melted. But the snow and ice do cause problems especially since I prefer to run in the trails. If it is bad out we have a pretty good treadmill at work that I use.
