Allison from the Run Your First 50k Facebook group posted this a couple weeks ago: " Anyone else feeling lost without a training plan? As some of you might remember, I ran my first 50K at the end of April. And then I did a trail Ragnar and another race or two that didn’t necessarily require specific training.
