One of the questions I have occasionally gotten, and that I
have also seen from time to time in comments on Vol State discussions is, “How would
you train for a race like that?” Many ultrarunners, who either seriously think
they might want to do it or who may just have a passing curiosity about it,
seem to wonder about this, and I have finally been moved to reach out with such
wisdom as I have on the topic.
