2012 Ad-Hoc Training Events
Planning on hosting a few ad-hoc training events in Leadville this summer. Using my house there as a basecamp and then doing some longer-ish runs were we can setup carpools and such. Mostly thinking July at this point, because I will be focused on Western States in June. Then doing a few final events in August like our annual night run.
Who's interested?
What types of training events would you be interested in? Long/short? Specific course sections? Hanging with other newbies, prior finishers, studs?

I live in Salida and hope to get up to Leadville a few times as well this summer.

Hi all, I just joined the site and am training to run Leadville this August. I'm definitely interested in joining a group for some training runs in the coming months. Is anyone going later this month (Saturday the 19th) or is it too early in the year? I haven't been on any part of the course before and would like to see it all at least a time or two before August.

I will be in town starting June 3rd or so, and then until the race. It is definitely not too early for anything, but I will be running different parts of the course throughout the year, and will probably be trying to pull together some small group runs. If you look at the post above this one, it looks like Dan would probably be down to run with us.

Stos & all . . .
Between now and July I am really booked. Quadrock 50, DirtyThirty 50K, Mount Evans, and then the training camp. I will be focusing on July. I am also a teacher, so my training schedule is wide open. Let me rephrase that, I am a father and a husband . . . And want to keep it that way, so it is not completely wide open . . .
May We Always Be Crazy!!!

I would love to join in on some training runs. Though, I'm only doing the Silver Rush 50...it will be my first 50. But, I would love the chance to run alongside 100 milers, as I hope to be there some day too :) I live in Loveland, so most any weekend works for me, as well as any type of run. I'm hoping to get up there this weekend to run the first 10 m (for the 50)i up...total 20. But, being mother's day, may wait till next weekend.

Silver Rush 50 was my first ultra last year and you'll have a great time! The volunteers and all the crews are pretty amazing. My suggestion is do hill training and get really good at power hiking :)

Thanks a lot! :) will do! I started out doing the Mountain Masochist Training program thats online, but after reading from lots of you decided to back off a bit on mileage, since I'm comfortable with around 55 mpw, and focuson climbing at elevation, so been running in Estes, Fall River road...goes from 8,600 - 11"700. Thinking I'll post a discussion on this for more advice. But, I'm looking forward to group runs! :)

Is anyone up for a training run on part of the 100 course this Friday, 25 May? I haven't been on any part of the course before so I'm looking forward to starting to check it out. I would be driving up from Colorado Springs but could be there at almost any time. Let me know if you are interested.

Coming back the same day? How far do you want to run?

Hey everyone. Just got everything lined up for this Summer over the weekend. I have rented a house in Leadville for the Summer. I will be in town starting June 3rd - August 20th. I'll be ready to run the course just about any day starting then.

Nicholas,
Yes, I'd like to go up in the morning and come back mid-afternoon. I'd be up for just about any distance depending on the course section (5, 10, 20 miles; i've never run at that altitude either so I'm curious how that will go). I have about 6 weekends available to check out the course between now on 18 August and would like to see it all between now and then. My first thoughts were to do the Hope pass section or Sugarloaf section. Let me know if you are interested.

Jeff,
I can't make it tomorrow but I'm definitely interested in carpooling up to Leadville to train (I'm in the Springs also). Let me know whenever you plan on going up.
