Feeling a bit behind the 8ball. If I'm going to make goal, I should have about 50 miles on Sunday. I'm not exactly sure how to work this month out with the move and shuttling the kid to his old school from our new house. I'm going to have to figure out how to bump this up.0 -

Today my training program announced: "Congratulations, you've completed your marathon training. That's right, you're done. For the next three weeks our goal is to balance your need for rest and the need to maintain your fitness." So I peeked ahead and this week's long run is *only* 14 miles. Are you serious, after a build up like that? Today was just a quick little 6 miles. And it actually was quick - that heavy feeling in my legs after the 45+ mile hell week has finally worn off.

Thanks for the suggestions for energy. I am with you JTH11706. I find them pretty bad. I used power bar chew for my 10 miler in Nov. And forgot how sick I got from the caffeine and here again today. I am going to try non caffeine and see if that does the trick. A friend told me how she puts a tsp. of honey in a sandwich baggy and puts the bag inside her sports bra. I did that in the fall and it seemed to work. You bite the tip off it and suck the honey out of the bag. A kick of energy. Thanks also Dean for your suggestion.
I can't stand the GU stuff... the consistency makes me gag. I like Shot Blocks, personally - but if those don't work, my dad (who has been a distance runner his whole life) swears by the little orange candies that you get in the bulk bins at the store... they're the ones that look like orange slices and have a bit of granulated sugar on them. Probably any candy kind of like that would work well - just for that little burst of energy.
I also would carry two small bottles with me when I was running 60+ minutes. I would have water in one, and some kind of electrolyte drink in the other (power aid / Gatorade, etc)... I mostly drank the water, but every 20-30 minutes, or so, would take a swig of the other.

@hkristine1: Thanks for the suggestions. I really don't like anything. It usually upsets my stomach. Jeff Galloway has tested out a SF-7X Super Fruit No added sugar, chemicals, preservatives and no nausea for him since using them for a couple marathons and long runs. I am a water gal and some Gatorade as you suggested. I know exactly the orange slices your dad likes taking. I appreciate your tips as well.
@JTH11706Congrats on getting through your program early! Now for all that energy build up. My run today was a bit of a bear after coming off a long run this weekend. I cannot imagine how your legs feel for marathon training.0 -

@JTH11706 - Congrats on surviving the training buildup, Janet! Now you get to enjoy the benefits of training so hard.
It's crazy to me to think of 14 miles as "only" 14 miles too!
