A part of the St. George Marathon crew:
Our buddy’s youngsters signal his footwear… such a good suggestion.
Our makeshift desk for bottles:) Maintaining it fancy!
The great: Our final 20 miler, and I used to be very pleased with how my physique felt! The exercise was 2 x 5 miles at tempo effort… The primary set was a hilly loop; the second set was largely DOWNhill. I felt superb on the primary loop (6:26 common), however the second set damage fairly badly (6:07 common) as a result of…
The dangerous: I attempted this on my run. It has 94 grams of carbs in a single pack, so I believed this could be my golden ticket to getting extra in carbs all through my marathon simply. For the primary loop, I had a traditional gel after which I began sipping on this (it really tasted superb, so I used to be thrilled). I had a couple of third of it, after which we began the second tempo, and I used to be planning on taking in additional in direction of the top of that second tempo. NOPE. Two miles into the 5-mile tempo, I began having intense cramping in my abdomen… intense. So, my query is, do I keep on with what works (Maurten gels) for me, practice my physique to do higher with this drink combine, or dilute it with extra water? I put the entire pack in my handheld bottle. HELP ME. I would like this to work as a result of it tasted superb, however possibly this can be my factor for extra lengthy, regular efforts… not tempo tempo?
And the ugly (simply the blood half): Effectively, I’m tremendous glad I attempted the Alphaflys out. I have to go up a half measurement as a result of my foot was bleeding by the top of the primary tempo loop. If I can seize a pair that could be a half measurement larger, I can be in heaven as a result of these footwear are unreal. They’re SO enjoyable, and I felt like I used to be flying, particularly on flat parts. I’m an enormous fan of them now, and I’ll save this pair for 5k racing, the place my toes can be advantageous for simply 3 miles (they didn’t damage; they only felt cramped).
Coaching final week:
Monday: 9 miles w/5 of them cardio threshold 6:49. 3.5 @ 8:10 within the afternoon.
Tuesday: 8 miles @ 8:21 common
