- Thanks to everyone who replied for all the advice!
-
- I ran 24 miles on Saturday and didn't even come close to bonking!
- I carbo-loaded the night before: tortillas, beans, rice, and bananas.
- The morning of the run, I drank a generous glass of juice and hit
- the trail. During my run, I only drank water. I wasn't even that
- hungry after the run!
-
- Now another question... I'm following Galloway's marathon schedule
- for a 3:30 marathon (hey, it's my first!) He doesn't give any in-
- dication of what pace to set on the long slow runs. My goal pace
- is 8 minutes/mile, and I was running between 9 and 10 minutes/mile
- on my long run. Is that okay? My speed training's going fine, but
- I'm still worried about overdoing it on race day and bonking at the
- 20 mile mark :^( What are y'all's experiences with putting the
- speed and distance training together on race day?
