Thanks guys! I kinda agree with you all, why have I put myself through 3 50+ mile weeks, and SO MANY MORE MILES IN GENERAL + way more "workouts" because of those miles this time if I'm not going to leave it all out on the line.
Going into taper next week I will make sure to listen to my body and heal up the best that I can, 2 more weeks until Judgement Day, there is no going back now!
Tunnel Hill in Vienna, IL, the place for the 50 mile record. There is a loose, small gravel trail about 3 miles from my house that is VERY similar to Tunnel Hill and 17 miles in all, so I'll be training on it a lot once training starts.
I do not plan to do a 100 miler training plan, I plan to just do a Marathon Training plan with a "few" and I mean very very few, long runs that are over the 22 mile threshold. After doing a lot of research and reading about the "top talent" in the ultra scene, it pretty much appears that most of the top athletes still just keep the "under 3 hours" rule in place when training.

What 100 miler are you planning to tackle? I might know a little about running that distance.

You can “train” however you think is best for you but none of us are anywhere near the top talent. Don’t think just because they stick to a 3 hr time limit they aren’t still putting in volume. Camille herring has talked about this a lot. Turns out she may run three time a day and still hits 80-100 mile weeks. The top talent also have much more running history than you. They’re a lot more to finishing 100 milers and I think anyone can do it. Talk to some other people you may know that are on a similar level to you that have done them and get their ideas on training
Marathon is so much more just physical conditioning. 100 miler challenges you mentally. And then there’s the whole nutrition game. More than happy to talk with you about any aspect of it.
