I need some help. I'm starting a new book project about ultrarunning. What are some questions new ultrarunners would likely ask?

You were an accomplished ultra runner by the time you rolled at WS. I think that leads to a pretty good topic of looking at base training vs maintenance training and when to switch from one to the other. Also, racing as training. I would also be interested in what kind of weight training different people do. I've started working more lifting and total body exercise type work into my routine. I haven't gone all crossfit but have certainly adopted some of the concepts.Last Place Jason said:All great stuff- thanks all!
As far as running a 100 on 20mpw- read my Western States race report. Then read my Grindstore race report. Both used the minimal training plan... both had completely opposite outcomes.
