I did half training and RI30. I basically ran four days a week and did RI30 one day a week. I would love to do more cross training, but I just don't have the time to do much with the number of miles I'm trying to squeeze in.

Fartlek just means playing with speed. So, all kinds of different speed workouts can be "fartlek". So, my understanding of the above would be warm up 1 mile, run 30 seconds fast, run 2 minutes slowly, repeat that 6-8 times. Then, cool down for a mile. If you want to make it a 5 mile run, do a 2 mile warm up, the 30 seconds…

I do have to be careful about taking in too much sugar on a run or I start to feel pukey.

I do use Gu and Gatorade and sometimes pretzels on runs over about 13 miles. Sometimes I'll drink Gatorade on runs over 9 miles if I feel like I need something. So, I am taking in some calories on really long runs. For my last 18 miler, I did two Gus and a Gatorade, which was probably about 350 calories. But, I'm guessing…

Okay... I did figure out I was calculating running wrong on MFP. I was putting that I was running a 5.5 minute mile when I was wanting a 5.5 treadmill speed. I'm an idiot, apparently. ;) I fixed it and it seems to be giving me much more realistic calories burned. Thanks for the advice for how to handle long runs!

I am following MFP. Hmmm. I think the mapmyrun calorie count is high too. Although not as high as as MFP, Bummer!

Yes, at least most of them. A couple days I had about 200 left over, and then on Saturday I had about 1800 left.
