I'm so peeved.
Our local sporting chain is having a huge sale on shoes. I checked it out.
Mens asics gel kayano, over 40% off, so only 149 down from 279! Women's gel kayano, same price. Wtf.
And of course no mens in my size. Sigh.
Did you ask them why the women's were not on sale too? Maybe they were a more current model and the sale one was sold out?
I asked, they were both the 26s so the most recent for both. Her response was meh it is what it is.1 -

Okay, so here is the deal... some people's GI systems react poorly to the gels, some people tolerate them fine. You will just have to experiment. I personally do not use gels because they are an icky sticky mess. Instead, I use Clif Blox which are like gummies.
They are many different ways to consume the same basic thing. You just need to experiment to see what you like best and what you can tolerate.
My wife prefers Sweedish Fish.
You can use anything you want, it does not have to be a fancy exercise gel/block/etc. Real food that is simple sugars works fine AS LONG AS you are getting sufficient electrolytes from your drink. If not then the exercise specific gummies/gels/etc are better.
Some of use are what are knowns as "salty sweaters" and take salt pills + sports drink + sports food. But most people probably do not need that much.
I use giant jelly beans!2 -
Hey all. I really didn't want to get up this morning. Had one of those middle of the night insomnia episodes, then got cold, then finally fell asleep again about an hr before my alarm went off. Sigh.
But got up and went for a short run before work. As always, once I was up and out it felt wonderful. It was nice and cool. Beautiful morning for a run.
I signed up for the 9k run tomorrow. Its two 4.5k looks so should be interesting. I'm also supposed to do some sprints with pace run as well so should work well.

You can use regular jelly beans but they do actually make sport jelly beans too:
You can find them on Amazon.com and many stores that sell sports food.2 -

Thank you! I'm going to Academy Sports and GNC this weekend to see what I can find. I ordered today from Amazon today and my gels will be here in the morning. I also read some food options. Bananas, dates, pretzels, fig cookies, mashed sweet potato or a regular mashed salty regular one...0 -
@LoveyChar I wish GU made a training sized package about half the size. And it could be the thinner consistency like @7lenny7 mentioned. I don’t do the caffeine ones unless it’s a race since most of my runs were later afternoon and I didn’t want to be kept awake. I’ve used sweet tarts, oranges, G2, dates, figs, hot wings, even counted on a few well placed persimmon trees. It’s all in what works for you. I liked the sport beans. You can portion them out as needed. I think cutie oranges were my favorite. Definitely the figs when I can find ones not preserved.3
-
@LoveyChar Academy is where I buy all my gels too. I've tried the sports beans and they didn't do much for me. Early in my running career I used to down a gel, usually without water, every 45-60 minutes. More often than not I would end up with GI problems. Then I discovered consuming half of the gel, and using water to wash it down, every 30 minutes or so gave me no GI issues at all. Also, I use Gatorade chews and just keep one in my mouth for about 4-5 miles. Just to keep my mouth from drying out. Seems weird, but it works for me.
Good luck on the 18 miler. Just take it slow, and even walk during the gel/water breaks. No shame in that!3 -
@LoveyChar In the summer I like frozen slices of orange. Of the various sports foods I like clifblox in the ginger flavor because it doesn’t taste too sweet, plus NUUN in my water bottle. The GUs just taste horrifying to me! My husband prefers honey stingers because they are smaller gummies and don’t need to be chewed as much. Everyone is different. In a pinch smarties also work. There are also people who swear by little packets of honey from Chik-fil-a!
If you do enough races, there’s usually stuff in the swag bag or samples at the expos, which is a cheap way of figuring out what you like. I have a giant bag full of various stuff and I don’t even race that often!1 -
I am supposed to run 14 miles tomorrow. If I wait until 10:30-11Am, the temp will be up to 40F. That’s not so bad.
What IS so bad is my total lack of drive to do it. My frustration hinges primarily on the fact that if I stick to the trail I always use, I’m not sure there are even fourteen miles there. Unless I utilize a neighboring trail as well. I did the math (each little trail has its own name and distance) and all of the trails combined are only 9.81. This is such a small detail but for some reason it is frustrating me to no end.
I guess one option is to use a neighboring trail for seven miles of it, then loop out and back on the smaller trails.
I also need to do what @LoveyChar is doing and get some kind of nutrition to take along. That could very well be the key to what my issues have been on long runs lately aside from the battle in my brain.
I got this supplement for joints online because they are made by someone I follow and respect so much and the reviews are amazing. It could totally be a fad but if they work, oh man, that would be great. Anyway they won’t be here til Monday and neither will my shoes so both of those measures are obsolete where tomorrow is concerned.
I’m going to do it though! The best run I’ve had in a month occurred on a freezing day and I was out there for 13.5 miles. Surely tomorrow can be just as good!6 -

In case you have not picked up on it yet... ANYTHING that is easy for you to digest is an option. Basically what you are looking for is two things: Sugar and Electrolytes. Some people eat pretzels, others candy, some fruit, some sports foods, and so on. A product like TailWind in your water is supposed to be 100% of all the things you need, but most products are parts of the picture that you have to build through trial and error.
Start with easy stuff like gummies and try not to over complicate your options. When you out on the run, simplicity is the name of the game. You want the simplest FOR YOU option you can manage. Also, remember not only are you carrying the fuel OUT with you, you are also carrying the wrappers and such BACK. So plan for that too. (I like to cheat and try to plan to consume fuel near public garbage cans if I can)
Have fun and find tasty stuff! 4 -
Relative to the fuel conversation - I do okay with about anything but I like Honey Stinger Chews the best.

I didn't get going early this morning as I had hoped, so I brought running stuff with me to work with little expectation that I'd actually do it. But I made a quick decision toward the end of the day to just change and run from there and get a short one done before heading home. I ran on the road for a little bit but there are hills in all directions that I didn't want to have to run back up, so I ended up on the nearby track. Which is a very nice track and I should use it more often. It was another unusually warm January day so the track was clear and no one was there except me and a couple of deer right outside the fence. They only moved a little ways away when I approached and then seemed to figure out I was just some fool circling around who wasn't going to bother them.
Thanks for the thoughts and concerns for my gym friend. I still don't have any word on how she is doing, but it sounds like she had a seizure and her heart stopped. She apparently has a kind of complicated medical history so it's not completely out of the blue that something like this could happen to her, but still very scary. As far as I know, no one is in contact with her close friends or family and unless she or they would let the people at the gym know, they can't find out how she's doing. But we are at least assuming we would have heard if the worst had happened. I'm just hoping she will recover and her trainer/friends will hear from her.8 -
My back has been really sore but I think running is actually helping it stay loosened up. Yesterday was beautiful, today was just hot! Too hot for January. I ran in shorts and am just not used to the heat again... I had a coughing attack somewhere in mile 4 and had to stop several times until I got to the drinking fountain. Not sure if I swallowed or breathed in a bug or what. Just know it was painfully uncomfortable. Also discovered, I think some if not all of my GI issues may be a result of the pb I have on my toast before going out. I have not had any for several days and had no issues. Had it today before heading out and I was running for the bathroom (literally) by mile two. I was actually considering my options if the bathroom hadn't been available. Thank goodness it was!
Now to go back and catch up on all the posts!

Can you not get jelly beans all year round? I don't get the easter reference.
Anyway I like jelly beans. Easy to carry, no packaging, tasty. Only issue is occasionally they get stuck in my teeth2 -
I was planning on doing a walk yesterday, but my right knee was painful, so I thought, no biggies, I'll just flip days, rest and walk today, run on Sat, rest Sun & start the Hidgon 8K plan on Monday. Welp, this morning, just a continuation on a theme I'm afraid. Knee is still very painful, hurts to straighten, then hurts to bend,it almost "pops". I have put a brace on it, and not much better. So looks like yet another rest day tomorrow.
This doesn't feel like the arthritis pain that has been bothering me lately. I wore some (fabulous I might add...) shoes on NYE with a heel to them for the whole '20's theme and wonder if I might have strained something or pulled a tendon?7 -
If I remember correctly, you are not in the US. I’m not sure about your location, but in the US jelly beans are more plentiful in the stores around Easter due to the egg shape and are often included in children’s Easter baskets. Jelly beans are available year round but are strongly associated with Easter here.PastorVincent wrote: »Never purchased an energy gel in my life, until today...

I don't know what your options are for other running stores but I would take my business elsewhere and I would be sure the manager and owner knew why.I'm so peeved.
Our local sporting chain is having a huge sale on shoes. I checked it out.
Mens asics gel kayano, over 40% off, so only 149 down from 279! Women's gel kayano, same price. Wtf.
And of course no mens in my size. Sigh.
Did you ask them why the women's were not on sale too? Maybe they were a more current model and the sale one was sold out?
I asked, they were both the 26s so the most recent for both. Her response was meh it is what it is.

Ahhhh yeah here in NZ we don't have the same association. They are pretty readily available all year round. I have to stop buying them cause I keep eating them when not running and blowing my calories.3 -

Yeah there are other stores. Sadly the other stores are specialty stores and don't have sales like this, usually only 10% off if ever have a sale. This was a 40% off sale, which is why I was so disappointed.1 -

Today's run was a bit uncomfortable. My lunch wasn't agreeing with me, and I needed to take several walking breaks to keep myself from puking. But it got done. I'm a bit proud of myself for that - a year ago I probably would've given up and taken a bus home.
Maybe I should just go back to running in the morning fasted.10 -
I disappeared for the week, while I was at a conference in Malta
The kids got to come and we had some free time, plus great meetings and I ran every day, too. One day was a group run, another day was intentional hill training to take advantage of the crazy hills that I had discovered the day before (literally LOL'ed when I got to the top and saw the roller coaster of up & down ahead of me), and two days were kind of longer with rocky trails mixed in. We did some hiking and sightseeing as a family and my crazy kids got in the cold sea. Yeah. It was pretty awesome.
Just a couple pictures.January goal 100 miles

If it is a chain, that is often the best the employee can say. The employee and even the manager have no control over these things. Often it comes from the vendor, not even the big wigs in the store's company itself. Working in retail I saw many times where a company like Nike would say "You will put X thing on sale, and don't you dare put Y thing on sale, or we will pull our products."
If it is the store control of the sale they typically run sales for one of 2 reasons :
1) A product is not selling fast enough and they want to clear out inventory
2) The draw from selling the specific product will generate other sales
Margins are way too tight at the store level for much else.

1-4 7k slow + yoga
January Total: 22k
January Goal: 135k
Foggy and 40 degrees F today. Never seem to run well after a rest day, and today was no exception. Don't know if yesterday's wrestling match with the Christmas tree contributed or not. Niggles in my left achilles and right SI joint all migrated to my hips during the run.
The Twelve Runs of Christmas
On the eighth run of Christmas, my workout gave to me:
Eight hip tweaks twangin';
Seven sparrows chirping;
Six frozen fingers;
Five trillion snowflakes;
Four wind gusts;
Three calf cramps;
Two frozen ponds;
And a small niggle in my left knee.
Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2020 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Return to a good running weight of 175 lbs
Run at least 4 5k races
Get a 5k PR
Average at least 138k per month, to meet my Run the Year pledge of 1,020 miles
Run the Year Team: Pavement Pounders7 -
@polskagirl01 Sounds and looks like you had a great time at your conference. Glad the kids go to go too and you were able to be so active in such a beautiful spot.1

January Goal = 20 miles
Aiming for 3 days a week
1/1 - 2.16 miles - C25K w1d1
1/2 - rest days
1/3 - rain all day and I don't have anywhere to jog inside
1/4 - 2.51 miles - C25K w1d1
January total so far = 4.67 miles10 -
I think i figured out why the 10K trainer seems so wonky compared to the 5k trainer.
The 5k trainer appears to focus on pace - “run twenty minutes / two miles”
The 10K trainer appears to focus on distance/ endurance “run for 60 minutes”
In other news I woke up so slow today but I am up and around and waiting on my eggs to finish boiling and then i am going to the running store to get clif blocks and then the gym and then to the trail for my long run.
Late start but who cares. It’s Saturday and the longer i wait the closer the temps will be to 45F
Good luck to all of you running today!9 -
@polskagirl01 sounds like a great trip! Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures!
@7lenny7 how’s your hip doing?
Injury update: I’m feeling very strong today. I’m scheduled to walk/run 3.5/1.5 intervals today once I get my lazy self dressed and out the door. I’m keeping these runs close to the house in case I need to abort plan. But all is well so far.10
