I have my second 100 and first trail 100 coming up April 13th, McNaughton Park Trail Runs:  www.mcnaughtonparktrailruns.com and plan to use this as a long training run for the solo. 

Last year in preparation of my crewing/pacing duties for Bill at his race, I conducted what I now know to be far too much heat training.  For those new to the heat training, please don't take what I say here to be necessarily applicable to you, as we are all different.  I saw my endocrinologist several weeks after the race and the results of a thyroid panel helped us to get my menstrual cycle normalized.

I haven't begun heat training yet but plan to about two months prior to July 1 . I had considered only 2-3 weeks of this training but have decided to do it for a longer period of time with less intensity/duration per session than least year.  I would very much appreciate feedback from others once I begin the training.

I'll post my training to date after tomorrow, when I have a long run planned.  I look forward to us supporting each other through our training!

Happy Trails,
