| Kettlebell Training - Swings and Snatches |
In 2010, I ran my first 50 miles. It was uncharted territory for me. In 2011 I tackle it with more knowledge and hopefully better planning than I did in 2010.

| Tire Sled Training |
Some guidelines for running your first 50 miles:
- don't get injured from overtraining
- get comfortable being uncomfortable
- strength is the base that speed is built on, get stronger
- speed training (high intensity speed training) builds endurance AND speed.
- kettlebell swings help running
- running makes you a better runner, train your nervous system to run the pace you want to run at.
- sleep
- eat good food
- listen to the horns of fatigue, back off when you feel like crap, then back off some more
- don't be an a-hole about training, family first
