Training for Fat Dog 120m

my training plan for fat dog 120m was mainly centered around running few big races and training runs, along with few back to back runs, ending with a high mileage weeks in May, Jun and July.

I had following races as ramp up plan for the race, my plans aligned very well with Bipul as well . he was running TRT 100 in July.

Mar: MUC 50m race (13hrs)

Apr: Quad MP run (9hrs)

May: Qs 100k race (14:45hrs)

Jun: PCTR SF 12hr run (50 miles), Mt Rose 40m run (10hrs)

Jul: TRT 100m race (going back after 10years) (DNF @ 62m)

Aug 11th: Fat Dog 120M (Finished in 46:40hrs)

Fat dog claimed to have about 28000ft of climb over 120 miles, so my focus was mainly putting as much elevation gain as possible in months leading up to the race, so my goals of running about 40K gain and 200 miles in may and jun were accomplished.
