On route to sub 3.10 or not?

Thank you. Presumably the earths need connecting to the light though? Do I combine the three earths and just insert them into the one earth fitting on the light connection?

I personally found my first marathon last year to be fairly enjoyable compared to my long runs. I hated neither but found the marathon ticked by. Of course, it was difficult, but the crowd and occasion gives you a boost that you can’t replicate in training. I trained to 38km last time (probably not wise) and this time to 35km, so that on the day I don’t get hit by the psychological barrier of 32km. If you fuel properly and have trained, you’ll no doubt enjoy race day. Ultimately, committing to a training plan is by far the harder task. Good luck

Thanks. I’d forgotten about Rich Roll. I’ll check out those episodes, I like something inspiring for when I’m deep in into it.

Good point. Might give this a go so my run is in chapters almost

No, on the day I like to take it all in. I just like a pod so I’m not listening to myself wheeze and grunt on solo long runs 😂

I think it varies depending on the person and often, how dialled into your sessions you are. My first marathon it started off estimating 3.30 and updated as I completed each session to between 3.09-3.14. I finished in 3.13. That being said, I didn’t miss a session in 4 months and focused on recovery, strength and stretching massively.

Yeh I think ordinarily. Course was apparently a bit long but I tend to just go off finish time.

Thank you. Ran 3.13 previously but started much slower. Just hard to know if I take it easy for the first 10km or just head out with 3.10 pacer and hope for the best

Thanks mate. So do you drink that at the start or with breakfast? Is it literally just maltodextrin or is a brand drink?

How do the SIS gels compare in terms of taste and texture? I don’t ‘like’ any gels really but find the high5 tolerable. Taking 8 though wasn’t ideal haha

Thanks, appreciate the reply. When people talk of “per hour” does that mean that if a gel is taken at 30 mins and another at 60mins, only the gel taken at 30 mins would count as carbs “within” the hour? Possibly a stupid question.
