Greetings everyone, I am searching for some advice to help with training for this race. If anyone has experience training at a similar elevation and running a race in CO I would very much love to hear your experience.
I originally didn't intend to sign up for Boulder (August 1st) but my calendar really works well with this race and I am eager to see this state. Training has already commenced, and I am now very nervous about the elevation. My current plan is to arrive Wednesday for the race on Saturday. I perhaps may bump it up to the Tuesday if there will be a greater benefit.
Now for my training I have incorporated more hills than I suspect the course has from what I have research. I have also purchased a training mask (Which thanks to some threads in this forum make me think I wasted $60 bucks). Other than that I am not exactly sure how to tackle this one.
Perhaps its a bad idea to do this one (I purchased the cancellation insurance LOL)? Look forward to hearing some responses. Have a great day,
Alex
