Check out this article--written by Anton Krupicka himself--detailing Krupicka's training for The Western States Endurance Run, which was held this weekend. His training paid off. He covered the course in 15:13:52.1--9:07/mile--faster than every time ever run on the course, except for one--the time run by Geoff Roes, who finished only a few minutes before him in a new course record of 15 hours, 7 minutes, 4.5 seconds. That's 9:03/mile for 100 miles! Here's what Roes had to say about the race:
"It just really started to flow," said Roes, who has won all seven 100-mile races he has entered. "This is my third 100 where somewhere around (Mile) 70 or 75 it just started to feel good. I warmed up finally, I guess."

200 miles per week? 8.5 hour runs? That's commitment.
Roes did half as much mileage. Took the less is more approach. Interesting.

Sheesh! Being finally "warmed up" after 75 miles? Yeah, I don't think so.
By the way, it's supposed to be 90 for the next couple days here in Montana, but should be lovely after that ... when will you be out here for your race?
I saw that. I hope it's nice and cool. I've been monitoring the weather. Although it can become very warm during the day, it's much cooler before the sun comes up than it is back here on the east coast. I assume the relatively low humidity plays a role in that.
The race is on the 18th of July.
