Well, I did it! I actually ran my "scheduled long run"!!!! WAHOO! I was so strict with my training schedule for the half in January, and this time around, I have been just too busy or not motivated enough to fit it in (I think more so the second) ooppps! ;) But thankfully, I have completed 2 of my 4 scheduled workouts for the week.
Monday: 3 mile interval Completed 3.5 mile interval run :)
Tuesday: REST
Wednesday: 11-12 miles, long run( My schedule says 12, but I didn't do a long run last week, and the week b4 I only did 10.3...so I didn't want to increase it too much!) Completed 11.91 miles :)
So all I have left is a cross training workout and another run of 5 or 6 miles.
I was sick to my stomach for about an hour or so after the run, not sure if it was from the gu or for another reason. I am trying to experiment with gu (tried the chocolate about a month ago, and then the orange burst today) but I am so not into the texture! I did better with the orange today than the chocolate. I loved the taste of the chocolate better, but it was way too sweet and I had no water until about 3 miles after taking it. ANy suggestions????? I have tried the jelly belly sports beans, and really like those!

Way to go on your long run!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if waiting so long after eating a gel to drink water would bother your stomach. I like the taste of Powerbar & Gu gels, but I don't taste it for long because I always follow up my gel with water. Other options: chewy fuel like Clifbloks, but you still need to drink water with those, too.
