ok so next year im hoping to be racing on the roads, mostly 5 and 10ks (I know wrong forum)but I,ve still got this terrible bob graham itch that wont go away. I,ve got some pals who are going next june, my question to you is, can it be done without compromising my racing too much, my normal winter training is obviously faster than bg pace with plenty of hills and speed and a 14mile 1000ft ascent sunday run, so I,m fairly fit, what do I need to be doing to get me round (please don't say 10000ft of climbing a week for six months)thanks.
