Fantastic run in Ballyandereen btw. Sub-30 for a hilly five miler is no mean achievement.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-62834484377209520752011-05-30T22:05:05.792+01:002011-05-30T22:05:05.792+01:00with that type of milage under the belt you will g...with that type of milage under the belt you will get the job done no bother on home turf..<br />I dont suppose you know who the 4hr pacer is?

...Carbo-loading on beer between long runs? Blimey!<br /><br />I bonked quite a few times when training for Dingle, but it got better the more runs I did. Eating solid food never even crossed my mind, but when I tried it during the race itself (banana, chocolate, jelly babies), my stomach cramped very painfully each time.<br /><br />Looking back, my main worry is losing speed, not just top speed but cruising speed as well. I'm tempted to try something else next time, but obviously cannot guarantee that it would work.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
