Hi everyone,
My first 100 miler is at Born to Run, starts Friday, @8am on May15. I have a solid crew and pacer.
My worry is the highest peak of mileage that I completed in a week (60 miles). I did several 60 mile weeks, but never more. People around and from what I have been reading here, I should probably have done 100+ mile weeks. My excuse, I’m a mom of 3, and it’s hard!! I’m so scared, I’ll be unsuccessful in this race and I’ll be disappointed. Any suggestions or encouragement? I’m feeling a little (maybe a lot ) vulnerable.
Also, I have been training since the beginning of this year. I did Leona Divide 50 miler, two weeks ago and I finished in ~ 15:30 hours. I finished with two blisters and the next day I was walking well. I ran the following Monday, and did 9:30pace for 5 miles, I felt good.
My Strava stats are as follows:

Thank you !
