No it won't. You can't compare road and trail ultras at all. Total different things really.
nah. fitness is fitness.
if fitness is fitness, then why don't elite road runners have immediate success on trails at ultra distances? there's a heck of a lot more to it than fitness. doing a road 100k is pretty comparable to training for a road marathon but you can't go into it without having very detailed plans for nutrition and pacing. running a trail races involves a lot more skills in addition to fitness.
