The next race is the 8/30 Iron Mtn 30 miler. This is a pretty simple event. It runs along with a 16 and 50 miler, located in Damascus VA. The race goes out 4 miles on the Creeper Trail and then hits the Iron Mtn Trail for an out and back race course.
The goal for this weeks training is to hit the 60 mile mark and get in a good long run. From here it is taper time.
8/5/14 - 6 mile loop and cool down - 7.5 total
4 mile Five Finger run. I haven't run in FFs since 11/10/13
8/6/14 - 9 Miles at the cove at 142 HR. Ran the new Rattlin' Run to Songbird took a left to finish songbird, then up tuck a way, and 4 Gorge back to the parking lot. the new trail was about 2.65 to Songbird and the last 1/2 a mile wasn't finished and was pretty rough side hill running.
8/8/14 - 23.9 miles running up Poage Valley Ext to the top of Poor Mtn and back. I run this because it is one of the toughest climbs and longest uphills that you can get around Roanoke. You haven't experienced steep until you run Poage Valley Ext.
8/9/14 - 5.4 miles of random running around Grandin Court.
8/10/14 - 10.25 miles running around Fishburn, VWCC, Winding Way and Persinger
Total for the week; 60 miles running
