 422  , Pennsylvania |  Subject: 06.03.2020 Wednesday TrainingSomething different... Getting ready for the long hike in a couple weeks, hit the local trails with a loaded pack (20lbs in a 50L pack) for my morning run. Welp...that was hard! Averaged just over 12 minute miles which is not going to be sustainable for 26 miles. Our goal is to run/jog 10 of the 26 miles on both days, walking the rest. 5 miles, trail run! Mountain biking tonight. |

1521  Cypress, Texas | Subject: RE: 06.03.2020 Wednesday Training The Ultra Trail runs that my brother does have people doing 16-18 min/mile. So 12 min/mi sounds super fast to me. Good work. I hit the bike trainer for a 60-minute super-threshold workout this morning. Swimming has been going well. After 8 months off I am now two weeks into swim training. The water feels great. I have been doing about 1000 yards 4 times a week and am building. |

Member 26 Clermont, Florida | Subject: RE: 06.03.2020 Wednesday Training Steve, Best of luck with it. My brother tells me the average weight of a pack on a thru hike is about 30 lbs, a lot of that is 4-5 days worth of food. He says he averaged 18-20 minute miles when he did a long portion of the AT several years ago. 30 mile ride this morning, will do a 25 minute stretch routine later |

| 422 , Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: 06.03.2020 Wednesday Training If we can bring our overall time down by throwing in some runs, we will be happy. If we can keep our 26.2 down to 8 hours with stops, that would be ideal, this is about an 18:20 pace. Won't be using the Garmin I don't think, can't imagine it would last for two days...but maybe, it had plenty of battery after JFK 50. |
