re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

I usually take a chocolate gu on long runs. I think they give me a little boost. Lately I’ve just been munching on cliff bars though.

Easy. Based on your mileage and the race times you’ve put up running at that mileage, your easily the most talented runner in the group.

I think you should set your sights a little higher.

To the gel question. All my long runs are dry. Pre race, I’ll hit the chews 5-15 before and if it’s over 10k, I’ll use gu roctane around the 38 minute mark.

It took practice to do it without water but it definitely doable.

Now I’m the one blushing

Appreciate, hopefully it goes well. It’s crazy that before this past October my half PR was 1:38 and it could improve so much

PHEWWWWW Good morning fellas. Holy shitballs it's cold outside!

Looking forward to my 3 miler I have to hit today. I'll surely be bundling up. I'm thinking Joggers, Hoodies, and headband that covers the ears.

How do you guys like to dress in temps like these?

If I could pick only one additional item to wear in cold weather, it would e gloves for sure. I've also been using arm warmers more often than in previous years. I like them because they are easy to peel off and store if your run progresses into the warmer parts of the day. I also cut the sleeves off of some older shirts and wear around my neck sometimes. I feel safe saying that I hate the cold more than most here, and I'm counting down the days to warmer weather.

Damn. Maurten is expensive as hell. I didn't bring anything with me on my 10 mile trail race last weekend and I regretted that around mile 7. I could have used a little energy boost, even if it meant just a mental boost.

What do those taste like? I always prefer the more sour GUs and Clif flavors.

Same. Gloves are really the only thing I wear in colder weather.

If it's really cold I'll wear a jacket, but it has to be below freezing for that.

i overdressed this morning. had to ditch an outer layer and beanie midway though. i never learn my lesson.

I need to grab that book. I actually ordered this one yesterday.

I have that one on my audible wish list, let me know how it is

thanks for all the replies all. i'm not looking to get poor on maurtens. my main sell to my wife is that i spend less than $300 a year on running shoes and races or anything else. that would end that with the quickness.

i've had GU regular and rocktane. The rocktanes are the ones that make me feel like i am invincible, but it's pretty hard to come off of that one for me. last time i had one i was up till 1 AM (took it at 7 PM on a 10 mile run) which was not intended.

the clifs i got were .75 a piece, so i got 10 of those and then a few different chews. i just have never tried them consistently enough to know if there's a big difference.
