The Lake Waramaug Ultra was today. There were runners running three races – a 50K
race (31 miles), a 50 Mile race and a 100 K race (62 miles).
The 50 mile race is 2.2 miles out and 2.2 miles back for Lap
1 at 4.4 miles. Then 6 loops around the
lake (7.6 miles) for total 50 miles.
Thus 7 laps for the 50 miler.
In preparation for this race, I ran several runs of longer
than 20 miles. The longest training run
was a 30 miler at 9:29/mile Average
Pace.
There were options I had available to me (as did all the
runners). You could be in one race and
opt to switch to a different race depending on how your race is going.
The plan for me today was to go for 9:45s for mile 1-40
which would allow for 11:00/miles if need be for mile 41-50 with my still
finishing the race at goal pace of 10:00/mile in 8:20. And 9:45s
are reasonable given my current fitness level.
There is no way I can run 50 miles today! I did the first 20 miles at average pace of 9:34/mile…slightly faster than 9:45s…and I was trying to get them slower
throughout to 9:45s.
But mile 21-31.29 sees the average pace being 12:47/miles!!!
This brings the 31.29 miles to average pace of 10:48/mile with 31.29 miles done in 5:38:09.
My training run had 30 miles done at 9:29/mile – pretty much knocked it out of the park – no crashing. This race – I hit the Wall at mile 21!!! My only logical choice was to opt for the 50K…completed
the Ultra distance – but really – baby ultra – maybe even fetus ultra.
It happens like this…my best Marathon
time is 8:56/mile average pace. I got that off very inferior training. These races and distances – I cannot predict
how I will do with any certainty.
The long and the short of it is it was not my day.
BUT…I will amend my training next time I go for the 50 mile
distance. I’ll have the longest run be a
38 miler (76% the 50 mile race distance).
