3100-mile race preparation summary
This year, I had much better conditions for running – I trained all winter in Florida, USA, where the summer never ends. January-February, I was still “resting”, making about 50K per week – running and biking. Since March I began to increase the volumes – 30K trainings appeared in my schedule, thus increasing my week total up to 100-120K. In April I ran a control marathon in a time of 3:31 and then made a 10-day break for the cleansing Madal Bal diet. During the diet I was not exercising much as detox is most effective while relaxed state. And it was the only period when I could do the diet without much damage for training – I still had an intense schedule in May ahead.

August 4: Doing What We Love by Utpal
How Sarah feels about completing the race. Which will happen in just a couple of hours. “It is just absolute gratitude. A runner’s life is up and down. Success and failures and everything in between. I think especially after last year definitely I value it. But it is just such a team effort. Because nothing would happen without all the track workers and the race directors. Everyone who adds to the race in any capacity. So it is definitely that we are all traveling together. It is not just personal success.
