I'm trying to decide what races to run next year, and I'm torn. What would you guys do?
I'm toying with doing the Squaw Peak 50 Miler (http://jbozung.host.elfon.com/sqw_mstr.htm) in June, and using both the Salt Lake and Ogden marathons as training runs. What that would mean is that I would end up running both of those marathons much slower than I otherwise would if they were the goal races. If I decide to go this route, I have to start training for the 50 miler pretty much now.
The other option is to start the Pfitzinger marathon training at the end of Dec., and run 3-4 marathons as fast as I can next year.
Either option is fine, I just can't decide what to do. Whaddya think?
