Thank you both for your quick responses. The rolling out makes sense. I am not injured or suffering overuse. I started the Ultra Program in April and the long runs are scheduled for Monday, now the day after a summit climb. I am 200 pounds so running the 15+ miles the next day is not ideal without a rest day. I asked about the cycling mainly because without the weight bearing I feel good getting out for a long ride and can stay on schedule without feeling overworked or sore. I feel fit and I am about to turn 50 so the last 20 years of mt guiding have made rest a premium for my joints. I live in Seattle so I can mix my runs with trail and road. My other question or concern is how to categorize the summit day, usually 9-10 hour event, mostly Z1 , with an hour or 2 of Z2 with 5K of up.
