Got any advice for a beginner looking to break into the sport? Is the training for a 50K much different from a standard marathon training program? What races would you recommend for a beginner?

Maybe another mile or two on your long runs. View posts:  ThreadedFlat - Oldest FirstFlat - Newest First    All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1
