A part of the St. George Marathon crew:
Our good friend’s youngsters signal his sneakers… such a good suggestion.
Our makeshift desk for bottles:) Holding it fancy!
The nice: Our final 20 miler, and I used to be very proud of 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 harm fairly badly (6:07 common) as a result of…
The unhealthy: I attempted this on my run. It has 94 grams of carbs in a single pack, so I assumed this might 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 few third of it, after which we began the second tempo, and I used to be planning on taking in additional in direction of the tip 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 need this to work as a result of it tasted superb, however possibly this will likely 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 dimension as a result of my foot was bleeding by the tip of the primary tempo loop. If I can seize a pair that could be a half dimension larger, I will likely be in heaven as a result of these sneakers 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 will likely be positive for simply 3 miles (they didn’t harm; 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
Wednesday: 13 whole @ 6:56 common with 9 miles within the center @ 6:20. Was going to run a double however was too drained after this.

Friday: 10 miles @ 8:19 common
Saturday: 20 miles with 2 x 5 mile tempos. 7:19 common tempo!
Sunday: Off!
I used to be imagined to hit 75 however hit 63, however I don’t have any regrets taking additional relaxation.
Nothing is extra worrying than when I’ve a child taking part in goalkeeper. She did nice, however my coronary heart fee was maxed your entire time.
Skye misplaced one among her entrance enamel!!
We ate at Cafe Rio and Beck is simply nailing it with the posing.
Been taking them to Cafe RIo since day one.
