CSIndy has a great interview with mountain running legend Matt Carpentar. I am training for an Ultra so I found this very interesting:

Indy: Where did you train for Leadville?

MC: I stuck to my normal Pikes Peak routes. I went in with a little different philosophy from most ultra runners. I concentrated on the speed, and not so much on the distance. My longest run for that was 23 miles. A lot of guys will do 40- and 50-milers, but I couldn’t do a run like that and recover, and still do the speed workouts I needed to do to win the national 10K championships.
