CD = cycle down

• You will begin running longer on back-to-back weekends. You will also begin building a semi-long mid-week run, preferably on Wednesday. Obviously you will have higher weekly mileage as a result. You may vary your schedule as necessary but nothing substitutes for the weekend long runs which should be on trails or fire roads. Other runs may be on paved roads.
  
  
• Rest is essential. It is recommended that you not run at all on Mondays and Fridays. There are occasional easy weeks for recovery.
  
  
• When you are training for a 50 mile event all other races should be used as training runs, including 50Ks. When it comes to 50 mile training, go for "time on your feet" over fast races.
