50k!!! Nice! I'm doing my first half marathon this spring--actually, that's my fifth: Run a half marathon. I'd love love love to do long distances like like and ultra marathons!
I've run Wickham Park Marathon three times, consecutively. At the time, I was the first woman to do so. I don't know if anyone has, since. Read the entry information and the FAQ!!
The 50k was a trail race, too. Trail running is so much more fun that road running!! You can do it!
Long distance cycling is a LOT more fun, though, to me than running. You can _eat_ and not die. You cover a TON of new territory. If you do brevets (look it up!!) you even get nice little rest stops, and meals, and have fun people to ride with. 50k running is one thing, but 600k on a bike? Who even does that??? Tons of normal people like me! It's SOOO fun. And you get so doing a century ride is like a little fun training ride for the weekend. It's WAY easier to maintain your base than with running.
