Well, I'm doing a 50k on Saturday. When my friends and I signed up for this months ago, it seemed like no big deal... we had the whole "have 10 hrs to finish, who can't do that?" mindset. Well, Saturday is almost here and that train of thought is far gone, now I get more nervous with each passing minute. I have in no way been training for this, besides my usual cardio, which consists of 3 miles, 3 times a week. My gameplan is to tough it out for 12 miles or so, and hope that heart can take me the rest of the way.

Anyone here ever do a 50k? From the guys i've talked to who have done this one before, they say it is perhaps the most painful, body draining, soul-crushing experience they have ever encountered. They claim to be out of commission for the next week afterwards.
