[RC] Training schedule? - FASTGraphic

Okay.  I will be doing a 50/50 (2 day 100) in mid April - the incredible Hog 
Wild.  Have not done a ride since last summer, but have been conditioning 
rather steadily - working from LSD to more speed and more hill work.  
Solitaire is about 6 1/2 years old and now has about a full year of pretty 
good conditioning.  Her pulsing is getting better, but she is no Arab!  LOL  
Rode 18 miles yesterday at a nice, steady 8mph trot - and she pulsed down 
into the low 50's within 10 minutes at the 10 and 18 mile marks with no 
sponging (it was in the mid 70's to about 80 degrees - God love So 
California).  

My question is this - what training regimen would any of you suggest for the 
next approximately two months?  I am available to work her whenever necessary 
and have access to awesome trails - sandy washes, long tall hills, nice dirt 
roads, windy single-track, etc.  Should it be every other day?  5 days a 
week?  Lots of speed?  Plenty of LSD?  A strong mixture of all of the above 
with some hills thrown in?  I really want to get it right this time, and peak 
at the ride - not over or under doing her beforehand.

PLEASE make some suggestions - and be as detailed as you like? 
Thanks,
Scott
