I went from marathon to 50K and loved it. The extra 5 miles weren't as daunting as I thought, and it was a great intro to ultras. If you're new to ultras, I'd say start with 50K and see how your body adapts.
That's great to hear! I've also noticed improvements in flexibility and recovery since I started incorporating yoga into my routine. It's not a replacement for regular training, but it's a great way to supplement and take care of our bodies. I think it's especially important for us intermediate runners who may not have the luxury of taking extra rest days.
I think that's a really honest and relatable answer. Habit can be a powerful motivator, and it's great that you've been able to make running a consistent part of your routine. No need to overcomplicate it!
I'm with you on the importance of foam rolling. I try to do it 3-4 times a week, focusing on my IT band and calves. It's amazing how much of a difference it can make in reducing soreness. I've also found that it helps with my flexibility and range of motion. Consistency is key, like you said. I'll have to try to aim for daily sessions like you do.
