A half pack of the blocks irritates my stomach. I also have a hard time with gatorade...too sweet, makes me feel sick. <BR/><BR/>I am going to have to figure this sh** out in my training for September.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511734.post-10206805437039958362008-05-08T06:38:00.000-04:002008-05-08T06:38:00.000-04:00Didn't I already say that I'm not doing another ma...Didn't I already say that I'm not doing another marathon this year?? :) Fall races are pretty much out for me this year because of the whole wedding thing...lol.<BR/><BR/>Hills...yes, I do hilly runs, but not hill repeats. However, I did the first 2/3 of my marathon training on the treadmill. I was okay for ATB, but the hills were only really in the last 8km or so. I wasn't ready for 42km of hills...can you ever really be ready for that? <BR/><BR/>Marathon training in the winter is tough. There is something about running hills in the snow that does not appeal to me. It's not the cold...it's the ice that I'm concerned about. I won't make it to race day if I turn my ankle.annershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06112398365784804950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511734.post-45825403006577221692008-05-07T23:08:00.001-04:002008-05-07T23:08:00.001-04:00Btw, u wanna join me to do TO Marathon?=DBtw, <BR/><BR/>u wanna join me to do TO Marathon?<BR/><BR/>=DCliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227378544813320248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18511734.post-5793201400164743332008-05-07T23:08:00.000-04:002008-05-07T23:08:00.000-04:00Hey Marathon Girl,Did you realize u did more marat...Hey Marathon Girl,<BR/><BR/>Did you realize u did more marathon than me. I don't consider IM as a marathon b/c it ain't.<BR/><BR/>Very good post marathon thoughts. I would say you should be going well until 30 km or so. <BR/><BR/>Then again, I shudder in thinking about marathon b/c of how I will feel from 30 km onward. <BR/><BR/>As for the course not being flat, I have been doing a lot of hill works. Easy runs, hill. Tempo runs, hill. Long runs, hill.<BR/><BR/>My limiter is my legs will tired out before my heart does. How do I strengthen them? Hill work.<BR/><BR/>I suspect in ATB after we climb the last hill and running back to the finish, my lges weren't strong enough to handle that kind of stress.<BR/><BR/>How do i know that? B/c my HR was sitting at low 160s and I am not breathing hard. Mentality I was pushing myself but my legs just gives. This explains my low HR.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227378544813320248noreply@blogger.com
