For those also running the 50 mile Superior trail run, the RD has recently announced an exciting course change! The course will now be point-to-point and they will bus all racers out to the start line in Finland and then we will run,walk, or crawl back to the Caribou Highlands lodge. Since I have never [...]

Jack Daniels states that it takes 6 weeks to completely adapt to a training stress. He recommends training under a constant stress for a minimum of 3-4 weeks before adding to this stress with increased distance or intensity.
