Ok ok I know... I have still to run the Florence marathon this year (in less than 20 days) but what the heck! I am already planning a very aggressive race calendar for 2010.
As every year I need a main objective. I was thinking about the Lavaredo Ultra Trail (www.ultratrail.it) but I must admin that 90 Km are maybe too long for a first ultra. So I am setting my eyes on the Verbier trail (61 Km) http://www.trailvsb.com/en_ultratrail.php?cnt=EN for beginnig of July. This will (99%) be my main goal. So I need some training marathons on trails to prepare. I cannot race every weekend so I need to choose carefully. One will be for sure the LGT (42.2 Km with 2000 D+) http://www.lgt-alpin-marathon.li/ beginning of June, this will be my main long run. Then I am thinking beginning of April about the Zürich marathon http://www.zurichmarathon.ch/. The only problem I have with this is that is on road and not on trails. If I manage to find something long enough on trail I will change, but for the moment is the only marathon I have found close to home in April. In May there is the Wintherthur marathon but that too is on roads so I think I will skip this. I want to train as much as I can on trail starting december.
I will post soon about the training plan for my first ultra. I am collecting links and information that I hope could be useful to others.
Until then
Happy runs!
