I felt terribly cold by the time I drove home - only a few minutes - but I was shivering and couldn't wait for the heating to come on, followed by a hot shower and then two bowls of hot beef and vegetable soup! Warming up with the heater on, the hot shower and steaming hot soup......sheer luxury!

| 16km .....from school to end of Diamond Fields Road, incl. Buckmans Lane & back. |
Next weekend 24km - I must have a good breakfast before this one! - and after that, just four weeks to the ACTVAC half marathon.
Today :16km in 2 hours 6 minutes
5k splits.... 38:28: 38:57; 39:54 ... + 1km in 9:19!
For the week : 40km
I know that version of 'sheer luxury' well. Yes, good advice from Bruce re a good breakfast - baked potatoes (carbs) and eggs on toast would be my choice :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a try next long run. Is that for breakfast or the night before? Potatoes as well as eggs on toast or either one or the other? I might be too full to run at all! However, it might be what I need to give me the energy I seem to be lacking after half way in my long runs..usually, all training on an empty stomach.
ReplyDeleteAlso difficult to manage when staying at hotel/motel accommodation.
Potatoes are the business - recently read about organisers serving up warm salted potatoes as food during ultras. Try it out as breakfast for a 'normal' run first, then a long run to see how you go.
DeleteOK, thanks; I'll give the potatoes a try before my tempo run on Thursday. I suppose two baked potatoes would be suffucient ..or too much? I don't want to feel like a sack of potatoes while running! lol!
