just broke up.
feel like running a 50m in 2wks
based on marathon training fitness (50mpw).
50m will be my first.
is this mad?
need to do something to dull the mind
and numb the pain.
come to think of it,
no thanks to offers to knock me out.
too risky for my bone structure.
i learned a few weeks ago that bitches are simply just sluts. It didnt help that i found out at 4:30 this morning that she had been cheating on me with one of her ex's all along.
sorry about your breakup. having a new goal can help, even if a short-term goal. i did my first 50-miler off marathon training, and had a blast. just look at it as a long (long!) easy run, and you'll do great (of course, that depends on the day, the course, etc., so your "mileage may vary"). as for me, i felt great the entire time, and only pushed it for the final five miles; still, i broke the masters course record by more than 15 minutes.
a nice thing about many ultras is that they are very social events; if you're running at more than a conversational pace, particularly in the early miles, you'll crash and burn, so you might as make friends on the trail (or road).
i say go for it -- and keep focused, especially toward the end, or you might trip and knock yourself out, and that'd be no fun at all. another piece of (seemingly unnecessary) advice is to taper, hydrate, and eat well (before and during), and do your best to get a few decent nights' sleep leading up to your race.

To answer your question, yes, it is crazy. You're talking about doing a race that's equivalent to a entire week of mileage. I'd consider jumping into a 50K instead of a 50 Mile race.
I've done a 50K before off of 90-100 mpw. The race (all on trails) was a blast. However, I was REALLY glad to see the finish after 31 miles. There is no way in hell that would have gone on for an additional 19 miles.
bitches aint shit, run the 50, if you have been marathon training, you will be able to get through just fine, just make sure to eat tons and drink lots.

Then maybe you shouldn't date "bitches".
To the original poster, I'd say go for it but be wary of injury and prepare as best you can.
yikes. sorry about the multiple posts. definitely unintended.
