Help a trail running newbie plan the perfect runcation in Colorado
I have planned a trip to Colorado from September 5-10.
I'll be in Fort Collins on September 5, but am spending the rest of the time in Boulder (possibly Denver).
I haven't done actual trail running before, but want to give it an honest shot. I have a strong running background with a 10k PR of 31:42 and a marathon PR of 2:31:05, so endurance won't be an issue.
Here is my tentative plan (and you can see where I am hoping for some tips):
* Friday - Tempo run in Fort Collins * Saturday - Recovery trail run * Sunday - Long run (Boulder Run Club or Magnolia Road) * Monday - Recovery trail run * Tuesday - Midweek long run (Boulder Reservoir or possible trail)
I'd love to get some vert on runnable trails since we don't have much of either in New Orleans.
I'll have a car, so getting around won't be too much of an issue. I can't wait to get out there.
