Training for a Multi-Day Running Event
This training cycle is like nothing I’ve trained for before
When I decided to give myself a 60th birthday present by registering for Six Days in the Dome, I knew I was both crazy and would need to find a whole new level of training.
Running a multi-day event and deciding to do the bulk of it self-supported is not an easy, breezy endeavor.
Thus, I knew that training for this would not be like any race I have trained for in my seemingly short, almost ten years of training for and running ultra-marathon events.
I spent about two months trying to figure out how one trains for a multi-day event while running a business, keeping a marriage on solid footing, dealing with family issues related to everybody aging and a new adopted family settling into a new culture, and doing everything I can to keep faith alive in me while attempting to draw faith to the surface of friends and acquaintances' lives.
If that seemed like a long paragraph, imagine what it’s like to live it; that is about half of what I do.
The more I got into the weeds of working out a training plan, the more I realized I was missing the point of this whole adventure, which would take a little storytelling and almost not appear as a running-related article.
