Jamie Donaldson, who has been the top female at Badwater three years in a row, as you know, lives here in the Denver area and I'm looking forward to eventually meeting her.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-73723624690908234642010-08-31T05:17:31.990-06:002010-08-31T05:17:31.990-06:00Your marathon times are extremely impressive!

Nice effort, post and report. I enjoye...Hi Wyatt, <br /><br />Nice effort, post and report. I enjoyed following your adventure at Leadville. <br /><br />A few things...you are being hard on yourself, but most ultra runners probably do the same. The post 100 mile hangover is tough to snap out of, and then you replay the race a million time in your head (at least I do...). I am confident that you will gain perspective soon.<br /><br />Second...I have used Perpetuem a lot. It works great, vegan (if that's a concern), but it does foam like crazy when a handheld bottle less than half full (optimist lol!). I love Hammer's products, and have had good experiences with the gel, Heed and Sustained, but one other resource to look at is First Endurance Sports. A lot of cyclist use their products, but I know Karl Meltzer is sponsored by them and he does pretty well. Check out the nutritional info, you'll be surprised. My brother in-law who just won the Colorado state championschip, from Littleton turned me on to it.<br /><br />Lasty, when we went to Badwater we used Carbo Pro...good stuff and Dave Corfman (23rd 35:55), and I (60 miles pacing) can attest to this being a good product as well.<br /><br />Anyway, just my 2 cents...be proud of your Leadville run. Not many can go from sea level to Leadville in the short time that you did. Congrats again!<br /><br />Kyle FahrenkampAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-30936333086103209992010-08-30T20:12:10.654-06:002010-08-30T20:12:10.654-06:00Andy: Thanks for your feedback!

Too few of us recover the way we should. I am very guilty of that.<br /><br />Also, it occurs to me as a husband, dad and full-time employee that I might need to adjust my goals. Is running 100 miles per week realistic given my other priorities and given that I'm not able to get more than 7.5 hours of sleep a day? It may not be feasible at this point in my life. I think I can still run a lot, but maybe not 100 mpw. The interesting thing would be to see if my performance in 100-milers actually improved if I ran 80-90 mpw. Something to consider.<br /><br />I will now make your blog part of my regular reading and may pepper you with a few questions now and then.<br /><br />WyattWyatt Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224514798393011001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-7866392236787484182010-08-30T16:54:16.468-06:002010-08-30T16:54:16.468-06:00Nice Post Wyatt, and I think your experiences are ...Nice Post Wyatt, and I think your experiences are common amoung our community of ultra runners.<br /><br />The overtraining concern is something I covered in my most recent post (http://ultra-marathon-running.blogspot.com/2010/08/out-running-overtraining.html) and is a tough one to cope with, more mentally than physically I think.<br /><br />Enjoy some rest and a good sleep!<br />Andy<br />www.ultrarunning.com.auAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712344829615128675noreply@blogger.com
