congrats Jonnoo.Sunday morning Melb Mara was terrific, weather perfect and the atmosphere great. Had the Next% on and wow they are amazing. My legs didn't feel anywhere near as trashed as normal. Had a 7 min PB at 2:51 which I'm stoked about.
Another nice morning for a run, a little bit of a wind Bayside but enjoyed a casual 21km, not as many running this morning, maybe a bit of post marathon fatigue?
Anyway question for the floor, at what distance do you guys start thinking about nutrition? I always run my 20-25km runs fasted, rarely run longer so never think about food. But I generally have a good feed the night before in anticipation and include a couple "guilt free" treats such as icecream or a triple Scotch or two knowing what's in store the next morning.
my main rule with nutrition is no dairy or spicy foods the day before a hard effort.
so if you pace the half properly you finish pretty close to 1:45. that tells me speed wont be an issue, you just need to work on endurance.Late last year I ran 1:49 for half marathon. Went out to hard, really was hanging on by the end. Up to around 16km mark was avg 5:00min kms (1:45 pace) but obviously slowed down last 5km. Will do another half in a couple of weeks.
I really want to crack the 4hr marathon mark. Will do HK in Feb. I am quite skeptical i can get there based on my half time?
What are people’s thoughts?
This is all going to see like stupidity to you gun experienced runners.... but have been reading up on and learning about the actual importance of proper paced runs, ie Easy runs, tempo etc etc...
probably not a coincidence that since i have started to do it and do walk/run stuff my achillies has felt a lot better and more importantly recovered a lot better... So attempting now to get back going and do the Bellarine Sunset Half in Feb from Port to St Leonards and back.
Goal being also the full mara next year in Melbourne, so apologies in advance as I potentially will be a pest question wise.
One question... shoes... do you all rotate or have multiple going at once and why? I have been tracking the distance mine do, just wondering the logic between having a few pairs at once, or do you have different ones for different things?
(also went to the running company and got assessed, need stability shows, have recovered much better since also getting some Kayanos.. but i do wish they were a touch lighter)
