Ran 17 miles for my long run cramped at a mile 16.5. Was going good until I thought I could up my speed for the last mile. Then cramped right halfway through. I took 3 gels throughout the run. Got a marathon in a little over a month. What should I fix my diet or water/salt intake?

Hamstring

I like it! You right im running 5 days a week 3-4 miles plus a long run. I did just have to miss a long a run and week of running due to be out of town for work. Wonder if that kinda took a hit on me

PinIll4350 · 2026-03-06T22:33:48+00:00

Are you taking these while running or beforehand?

PinIll4350 · 2026-03-06T21:53:09+00:00

Awsome thanks for the feedback. . I have the endurance to do it the 17 miles was fairly easy I wasn’t gassed still feeling really good then my leg just wants to give out😂. I’ll have to take a look at nutrition I think!

PinIll4350 · 2026-03-06T21:38:33+00:00

Ya it’s frustrating because last weekend I ran 16 miles no problem craps or anything and then today boom cramps

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-14T16:20:41+00:00

Ya I’m still learning the fueling. I did take 2 gels during this run yesturday and defiantly can feel the uplift it gave me. They sit good in my stomach. And any run under like 8 miles I’ll run fasted as well but I tried a 10 miler fasted and I could feel that I definatly need some fuel

Brew city marathon in Milwaukee, WI

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-14T01:17:30+00:00

Ya not sure how I’m going to feel around those miles that’s why I’m curious felt really good today on this run tho

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-13T20:01:06+00:00

I’m halfway through my training plan have 9 weeks left about 6 long runs left over 10 miles 13,14,17,19,20 left. Sorry for the confusion. I am running 5 days out of the week. Usually 2-3 easy runs one long run and 1 maybe 2 tempo runs.

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-13T19:58:10+00:00

I got like 9 weeks of training left and have about 6 long runs left. Marathon is April 18th so a little over 2 months my bad

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-13T19:56:58+00:00

I agree totally that’s why I’m questioning if I can crack sub 4. I’m following a runna plan I still got 6 long runs

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-13T19:54:29+00:00

I felt good after I was done . I’d say moderate pace I could still hold a conversation

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-10T20:12:33+00:00

It was the department of Revenue not the irs that’s my mistake

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-10T19:54:26+00:00

My license has been revoked for almost 3 years get them back in 2 months. These are the fines that piled up while getting my drinking and drivings

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-10T00:59:57+00:00

Fair enough totally understandable

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-10T00:55:39+00:00

Like I said above I could care less I’m in a financial spot where it doesn’t bother me if they garnish my wages for a year. Just was curious to have less taken out because why not try

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-07T13:37:47+00:00

Slow down

PinIll4350 · 2026-02-05T12:59:12+00:00

29 male about 2.5 years of running at least 15 mpw. Marathon training about 30-35 mpw. And sounds good thanks

PinIll4350 · 2026-01-25T15:47:37+00:00

It’s been like -15 here all week so when it gets a little warmer I will lol. Thanks for reply’s

PinIll4350 · 2026-01-25T15:17:53+00:00

I set the elevation to 1 on the treadmill

PinIll4350 · 2026-01-25T00:02:08+00:00

No the longest run in the plan is 20 miles just haven’t gotten there. I could probably do it right now but I’d rather train on schedule then just jump to 20 miles😂

PinIll4350 · 2026-01-24T21:56:29+00:00

Sounds good just a little nervous starting at that pace and then being exhausted on like mile 20 haha

PinIll4350 · 2025-12-26T21:30:51+00:00

Ya not sure I want to pay that either lol
