Legs still a bit tired from pushing the pace yesterday but I wanted to get in time on my feet and with tired legs I think it helps accomplish the training goal.
I did an out and back which forced me to keep going when I was tired. I ran from my house to McDonalds which was a little over 10.5 miles. I stopped and had breakfast of a sausage McMuffin with egg and a large Coke. Then I ran back until I hit 20 miles and then walked in the last mile. I feel like this was perfect ultra training getting my stomach used to eating on the run and to keep putting one foot in front of the other even though I was tired and it was mid 90's outside.
