how many 10 milers?

I'll be running the Trail Half Marathon on April 28.  This will be my 3rd 1/2, but my first trail race.

I'm at the point where I need to decide if I want to run just 1 10 mile run or if I should do 2, or a 10 and an 11/12 miler? 

If I do my second option, that would put a 10+ long run the weekend before the event. 

While it would be great to break 2:00 for the run, I am not setting any goals.  I know that the terrain is tough and I have not put in efforts to increase my speed or do any hill workouts - so I shouldn't even consider that a goal! 

I just want my legs to carry me through the run. 

I'm also battling some IT band issues - that give me a clicking knee and quite a bit of soreness the day after my long run.  The soreness is gone by the second day after the long run.  I have been doing lots of icing and foam rolling.

 so please, thoughts and suggestions...

Thanks!

  • If you are not 100%, I would just do one 10 miler at a nice easy pace and go into the race with fresh legs.
