I'm not a runner, but a climber/hiker. As such, I have to correct one tiny, technical detail.
Mt. mckinely is not the highest mountain in the continental US. It is the highest peak in Alaska. over 20,000 feet high.
I don't think you plan on running something comparable to the AT, so my guess is you mean Mt. Whitney, which is, as far as I know, the tallest peak in the lower 48.
However, if you do actually plan on running from California to Alaska, good luck.
