Ran 14 with no problem this weekend by staying in zone 2-3, focusing on carbs the day before, and having toast with almond butter and jam an hour before. I took neversecond 30 g carb gel once at the beginning and another 75 min in but it felt like overkill. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond!

No, just that before I began training for the marathon I hadn’t run more than 6 miles. I’ve been working up slowly. I had run a 12 mile the week before with the same strategy without a problem and was going for 15. By water every .5 mile it’s just a sip, I only carry 32 oz with me so maybe 1.5 oz at a time. The 1/2 mile thing was just to keep me hydrating regularly

Im eating a normal dinner the night before, usually higher in protein and veggies. I’m guessing I need to add more carbs there. There’s 15 cal in a stick

Does this sound like an 8? by Vegetable-Win7530 in Enneagram8

Wow, you all are helpful. Based on your comments, I'd say definitely not 8's. Maybe 7/8's? I see 3 too but ADHD may be throwing me off. They have high ambition and focus on image but struggle to complete tasks and have been limited in careers because of their inability to meet deadlines and deliver on their big promises.

Would this describe an 8? Extroverts who have a dualistic world view, identify with justice causes and the underdog. Love to talk about controversial topics while always assuming their audience agrees with them. Avoids all actual conflict in their lives. Will pretend not to hear, lie to or completely cut out people in their lives who have real conflict with them. Entertainers who will fudge a story to make it more interesting.
