Things are coming along nicely with long cycle and feeling pretty good after a long weekend of running - 20 Saturday and 8.50 on the trails yesterday. Not bad two week off of Stone Mill. This weekend will be the Fredricksburgh half mrathon but I'll be pacing my wofe and friend so it won't be a an all out effort on my part. After the race I'll be ready to add in double runs again to prepare for the Columbia 50. I honestly feel that double runs (even to a minimal amount) are a great addition to an ultra runners toolbox. Nothing prepares my legs to keep moving while tired as these and the boost in recover I feel after a race are worth it as well. Try it!
