I think the biggest thing that will hold me back on my 100 miler training is going to just be fatherhood. I've worked myself up to 50+ mile weeks at this point, it wouldn't be that huge of a stretch to get up to 90-100 during the 100 miler training; if I had the time.

I do plan to do at least 2-3 65+ mile weeks and at least one 40 mile day during the training... what that looks like I am not sure.

For now I'm pretty focused on the goal ahead of me (Rock n Roll) and I'll recalibrate after. Also plan to switch to a more vo2 Max focus for a few months to give my body a bit of rest.

I'm doing the 100 miler with 30 other people who are WAY less in shape than me, so I really can't talk to them about what to do (8 of them have finished a 100, but we are talking 32 hour finish times) and another coworker of mine does like 3 a year but he always looks for the hardest courses he can find and goes for it (and one of the three is always going to be over 100, this year he's doing a 200 miler). My other issue with my coworker is... he doesn't train, like at all
