Yesterday I ran 29km at 7:00/km and I felt great. Must use gatorade in the waterbottle when going on the long runs from now on. Water just doesn't cut it. I used 3 power gels and about half a water bottle of g-ade and I felt like I could have kept going and finished the marathon distance. Whenever I felt the weakness coming on I would pound a gel and chase it with a little drink of g-ade and the feeling would go away. Oh and ADVIL IS MY FRIEND!!! I took an advil at about the 10km mark and I didn't feel the muscles getting stiff at all.
I need to get faster if I'm going to capture the 4:30 time I am aiming for. Right now I am running at about 6:40/km top speed for long distances and I need to get down to a 6:24/km pace. I have started to run hills and I think I am going to put an extra hills day in the routine. I don't know if that's a good idea or not but I'll find out I guess...
