Hi everyone! We're off to a quick start with the thread this week!
Peg and Jeep, sorry to hear you missed your runs, Jeep probably a wise decision.
Peg, I am puzzled what you have in your fuel belt for a 6 mile run, perhaps just water? I have not tried anything other than water, gatorade once or twice on longer runs, and V8 vegetable juice (for the sodium). This has been for runs up to 15 miles, less than 10 miles I only take water. I do not know much about this subject, perhaps what I am doing is wrong?
Bugs, stick to your taper plan, its tempting to do more but not helpful.
Easy couple of weeks ahead after my race, I ran only 3 times this week, same next week. After that I plan to build up my miles again for spring, next race a half in early April on a very hilly course, and perhaps a couple of 10k races to see if I'm improving.
