I think I'll be ok...not feeling like I can run a very good 5k but probably ok on the achilles.

What a training cycle - work explodes, then vacation, then sick, then work explodes again, then achilles....sprinkle in some general apathy throughout, and you have my buildup to the longest race I've ever signed up for.

Alright, 5k tomorrow...hopefully no one good shows up.

Go beat the good people, Joe. Beat them.

The 5k the week before a 50k thing. Has this been discussed, and i missed it?

From Tom K on Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 04:58:13 from 174.58.54.215

Oh shoot 50 miler!

From Jake K on Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 07:54:56 from 67.166.113.191

5K, 50K, 50 miles... ahh what's the difference?

From SlowJoe on Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 09:34:58 from 107.77.66.56

If you think about it, a 50 miler is really just 16 consecutive 5k's. Therefore, a 5k race is the perfect tuneup.

From Jake K on Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 10:09:13 from 67.166.113.191

Yeah sort of the way you always do a 300m race the week before a 5K.
