For those of us crazy or stupid enough to love ultra running. Saw that there wasn't an ultra specific running community yet and figured I'd start one up.

Nice recap! I'm starting the journey into ultra distances soon having worked up my long runs and done one marathon. Slow but steady is my plan but I went through a similar experience with half marathon distances last year. Coming back from a broken ankle I'd only ever run 4 halfs prior to the break and experienced them as extremely challenging. During rehab I watched and read a lot on nutrition/hydration, bought a Salomon pack and started off. Now a half is part of my weekly long run at an easy pace and they seem normal. TIme to go your route and make the marathon feel the same way!
