Gearing up to run a 50k in mid-September. I logged 16.6 hours and 3000 vertical this week. I am trimming back vertical and increasing hours, as the September trail event is relatively flat. Specifically, I did 112k on the exercise bike, a bit more than 40k running, 7k on the ergometer, and a couple of good strength sessions. And while I am not in the Sierras anymore, I continued my tai chi, doing "hands like flying clouds," and "parting horses mane."
