Ultraracing (running distances of 50 miles, 100 miles, or more) has grown in popularity over the years, though it's still a relatively small sport.
The three-day Leadville Trail 100 Run Camp focused on. One caveat existed: The workshop was five days after my first-ever trail race—the Leadville Marathon—and day one featured a marathon-distance training session. Two trail marathons in the same week? I was nervous. What if my body revolted in exhaustion? Would I hold up the group? I pictured a school bus full of runners potentially waiting for hours for me to finish. I finally decided,At camp, more gears clicked into place.
After those successful back-to-back high-intensity running experiences, my curiosity about ultrarunning shifted to a commitment to try. During the run camp, I learned that two of my new running friends were racing the Leadville Trail 100 Run that year. They were much more experienced with training and running than I but I felt inspired and fired up. In hindsight, it was unrealistic to think I could jump into a 100-mile race—but I entertained the thought.
And then, there’s this twisted, masochistic option to sprint the very beginning of the 50-mile race , which is straight up a horrendous, rocky ski hill. The first man and first woman to the top each wins a gold coin, which allows them each to register for the 100 that year or the following year . Everyone from fellow ultrarunners to my friends and family questioned my ambitions—but I couldn't let it discourage me.
