Did a 2 mile run this morning and then did 6 x 200 meter quick runs. Was somewhat cool this morning so I got up and knocked them out.
Hogbody, I just thought of two years ago I went down to the LV Marathon to watch my wife's uncle. He always does the marathons and remembered it was 35-40mph winds and raining that day. Hahah.
Praying it is normal for us on the 11th.

I guess I’ll walk the last 10K if it comes to that
My advice to myself for the next one, if there is one, is to eat all available foods, Snickers bar, gummies, etc. offered, especially towards the end of the race.

The 20 mile wall is real. Trust me.
Just have to be mentally tough and push through it because, yes, that last 10k will hurt.
It has never gotten easier for me either. Even when I was running them frequently.

Before your race, I recommend trying gels during long runs. 100 calories a pop and they give a healthy boost of energy.
Currently going with GU but there may better options out there.

Ran 5 miles yesterday.. first “long run” of this training cycle. I’ll probably do 3 miles later today when the sun hits the tree-line. 16 weeks to go.

Yes. I use the GU gels. Also the jelly beans, too.
What happened to me was that sometimes when I got to 18 miles+ training, I'd get nauseated.
So, when I ran the marathon, I didn't eat enough, thinking I'd get nauseated and vomit while running the full marathon.
But, I ended up paying for it with my lack of electrolytes,etc .
My advice is to determine what your body needs at that distance.

Practice with what you plan to race with and have a plan B. That screwed me up on the run of my ironman. Cliff mocha gels had been my go to for a while, but never when it was hot. Well, they sat in my transition bag in the sun, then were in the pocket of my running shorts for 8 miles. That one I took at the 8 mile mark was hot and gross. I still haven't had one as the thought makes me nauseous. The next 8 miles it was hard to get water in much less anything else. Took until the last 9 miles or so before I could eat and drink more and started running significantly again.
Also, if they have it, flat coke and red bull will get you through the last 10k of a race. Will get you sick for the whole thing, but the caffeine and sugar are a hell of a pick me up at the end.

Yeah. My friend that introduced me to them can’t do them anymore after he had a dozen over two days doing R2R2R.
I’ve only had a few and only found one that I’ve liked so far so I’m not burnt out.
But I agree try different things and see what works for you.
I’ve done numerous half marathons and never had anything but a swig of water before I tried gels so I’m trying to introduce them to my longer runs in training to see what the effect is.

If it's cold enough, I can almost run a half with no water. Any heat, and I must have lots of water.
But again, it's when you get to that higher mile count, 20+, is when the men get separated from the boys.
I'd say 99% of humans would have to have nourishment during a marathon.

I’ve done multiple halves with no hydration, definitely going to incorporate it into the full
I like several different flavors of GU and can eat while running pretty easily so I think I’ll be good there

3 miles this morning. Will do deadlifts and front squats after work with some volume back work as well.
After a week back into this the pounds are starting to fall off and my cravings for carbs are back
I’m on a low-ish carb diet so I need to add some sweet potatoes into my diet to give me a boost.

Recap of last week:
Monday 4 Mi
Tuesday 3 Mi
Wednesday 5 Mi
Friday 2 Mi
Saturday 10 Mi
TOTAL = 24 Mi
Saturday did not go well for a few reasons. Had way more walking than I would like and weather was nice. Cramps started around mile 4.5 and it went downhill from there. Hope to change a few things leading up to the next long run to avoid a repeat.

The last 2 weekends I went out for Mexican food Saturday night and had fantastic long runs Sunday morning, think that’s going to be my tradition now

Got in an easy 3 this morning. Tried to up my pace. My calves and Achilles felt stretched and sore though when I push my speed. Not sure what that’s about.
