Ran just over 7 miles today, another hot day at around 20c. Took it at an easy pace, can't wait to get the marathon over as the training does take over and run your life. Although someone once gave me an analogy to marathon running " marathon running can be likend to having a baby, by the time the baby comes you swear that you're not going through the length of pregnancy or the pain of giving birth ever again but giving a little time all of that is forgotten and you want another !"
Here's today's results

Just under 6 miles this evening, first hot run this year at 20c and a strong outwardbound headwind. The run was pretty undulating mid-way round, here's how the run went .

Todays run was 14 miles and the run felt good but unfortunately my miCoach lost it's GPS signal for a while which ended up giving a false reading take a look .

My run today was just over 16 miles, tappering off the long runs now leading up to the marathon. My miCoach wanted me to do a 10 minute yellow zone near the end of the run (yellow zone 07:05 - 05:34 min/mi) but this was too much up those hills lol, see run results .

Todays run was just over 23 miles and quite an undulating route. I tried a new type of carb gel on this run as the liquid type I used on my last marathon made me feel sick, this carb gel is like blocks of jelly called Shot Bloks by Clif , they come in mountin berry or strawberry. Those are the basic ones, they have more flavours but have added caffine. You're supposed to take 3 blocks every hour, I took my first blok at 6 miles and one every 20 mins. It was a total supprise to me, there almost seemed to be an instant reaction, I could feel the extra energy, no doubt about it ! I glided round the route and even managed a sprint finish down my road !
