But not as fast as my 5:20 at Holiday Lake this year, which shows that I've really lost speed due to the 100M training and the gait issue...hopefully both of those things can be fixed soon.
I think running Gibbet 50 prior to MMTR will really pay off for you at MMTR -- it will give you a chance to practice pacing over 50 miles, plus managing nutrition etc. For MMTR, just add in some climbing and another hour or two out on the course!
Congrats again on a great run yesterday!

I really faded in the 2nd half, too -- I'm already thinking about going back next year -- I think if I get my gait issue fixed, I could finish a bit faster.
Look up "Hoka One One" shoes -- I think this is what we need for the gravel. Several people at Vermont had them & loved them, despite the fact they look like clown shoes. :) Oh, and they cost a small fortune. But I bet you could coast on that gravel....

Yeah any help would be great...not sure if its a disc/back problem affecting my siatic nerver or the nerve/muscle combo in my hip. Not sure who to talk with
