Hi every one I have been doing some 10k trail races and I am hooked have just signed up for first 25k race I am so excited and want to run a 50k later this year or early next year, I am following the ultra ladies program for my two races I have never ran more than a HM B4 and to be honest never wanted to , until I hit the trails I love them, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah!!! I'm excited just reading how excited you are. From my somewhat limited experience (lots of marathons, 3-50ks, 1-50 miler), I think the ultra ladies plan looks pretty good although I've never used them. Although it's possible to run a 50k following a marathon plan, I like the two weekend runs of that plan. I think it will help you feel strong and avoid a barely struggle through experience as long as you are smart if something hurts and can avoid injury.

Go luck and remember to listen to your body!

quick update on how my training is going..  I was supposed to run 12 miles  on sat and 8 on sun, but there was a HM trail race so I thought why not, I took 10th OA and won my AG yyeehh  I love how my running is improving small steps but big gains and on the Sunday I ran 7 miles it was hard but doable.. this weekend is  a 14 on Sat and 8 on sun 14 will be the longest I have ever ran I am so excited..
