Ragnar Practice

So I really like to practice things before I have to run them. I got an idea in my head a couple of days ago that I would try to simulate the race and run the miles I need to run about the same time apart as I would in the Ragnar. I couldn't quite make it happen when I wanted but this week I think I came pretty close with at least the total milage. I went to be Monday night deciding that I would wake up early in the morning Tuesday and run since I didn't get my run in that day. I set my alarm for 4:00 hoping that I would be able to get more than 10 miles in. I started runnign and felt really strong. Watched Italian Job and was feeling great. My treadmill turned off after 100 minutes and I turned it back on and kept running. At this point I thought "Hey, I might as well run a half marathon, just to see if I can!" so I did. I did it in about 2:06 which is pretty impressive for me. Then on Wednesday afternoon I ran 5 miles and this morning I fiished up my toatal ragnar miles by running 3. I figure yesterday and today's run will count as my two a day since they were fairly close together. So now I know that I can at least run 21 miles in a little over 48 hours on the treadmill, I should be able to do it when I'm running outside in race conditions. Happy Running!!
