Running my first ultramarathon (tacobell 50k) in November

Hello everyone, I need some advice on training for this. My buddy and I were hanging out one day. He turns to me and says,” I found this thing called the tacobell ultra. It’s so stupid! Im gonna do it!” And I say,” Dude you are an idiot, Im in!” Context for us: we haven’t done any kind of race. No 5k, 10k, half, marathon. Straight to ultra 😂. So how do I even train for this long term? I have been running for a little over a month. 3 short runs (3.62 miles) and one long run (5.82 miles) with a weekly increase of 0.7 miles (its the length of the loop I run). I am aware of tapering and deloading weeks from prior powerlifting experience. Also there is an eating aspect of this race. The problem is running after eating for me, not the amount of food because Im a fat chud. I just need advice on increasing weekly mileage and some small tips that might help out. Also, trying to shoot for a 10min pace for the running aspect only. Duzznt matta still gonna get mogged by someone in a costume or jeans.
