I'm Al Ray and I'm from Mindanao...Hi there! I'm Al Ray and I'm from Mindanao. I just read your blog "your Ultra-training Bag of Tricks: A Newbie's Guide to Ultramarathons" and I can really relate to it. I'm a newbie in ultra running. My first was the Davao50 just last Feb 27. It was my first ultra and I actually skipped the marathon. Your tip to not try the actual run during training is consistent with the training program I've been following on the nike+running app. At first I was confused as to why I wasn't able to run a full marathon during the program. Later did i realize the reason, and your article just confirms it even more. I'm now confident that the program in the app is really helpful, but it could be better if training with a pro coach and with a buddy. Sadly, I can't quite afford it but thanks to you and to other avid runners who share their tips and tricks, I can get on in this passion without much hurting my pocket. Thanks and more miles to cover for us!<br /><br />PS: I'm going to join at least two ultramarathons (50km) this May 28 and July 23. Can you still remember your first three ultramarathons? how was it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
