Our Team doesn't have a specific training schedule, but we did do the
Hoosier 200 Relay (Evnasville to Bloomington IN) last summer (2006).
Based on our experience , it would be beneficial to practice your runs
over the alloted finish time (36 hrs). So you will want to have
weekends where you would do your 3 legs, at whatever distance, over
that period of time. Based on your paces, you'll have to figure out
about when/how often you will be running. For our 12 person team, we
figured about every 11 hours, and we finished in 33:45, so we weren't
too far off. Figure on depriving yourself of some sleep between legs-
because most of you won't get much, even in your support vehicles. If
you know which legs each of your team will be running, they should plan
on training at those times (which may mean some VERY early morning,
very late night runs for those people.)
