^^ THIS.

Awesome race Doug! You should charge money for pics of DAT PIE!

Any time you are feeling good, take the hilly route. Worst case scenario is that you will be a stronger runner and race day will be a piece of cake if it is on a flat course :smiley:

+1 for this. DC Rainmaker also has a review on this. I have experimented with the Mio Link for quite some time overlaying HR graphs (wearing both the Mio and a chest strap while running). There is hardly any difference at all even after very long runs. Plus, the Mio transmits over both ANT and Bluetooth Smart -- so you are…

Congrats! Nice work!

^ This. Personally, I have transitioned away from gels/chews to regular food (raisins, single organic fig bars, oatmeal bars, jelly beans, etc.) during my long runs and target about 100 Calories per hour. If it is a really long run and I need to maintain sodium and other minerals, I rotate in bottles of Skratch with my…

- That is in relation to a US cup (8oz). 8 Cups is about 1.9 Liters. - Drink water at all the above times. If you drink before a meal, it does help supress appetite. - Don't worry about water retention. Your body is mostly water and you need it to survive. - I drink a LOT more than 8 Cups per day, but I run long distance…

My comment was not intended to ridicule you at all. Carbs are Calories and by definition; a Calorie is equal to 4.184 joules of energy regardless of whether it is a protein, carb, or fat. HTH.

Audio books are awesome for long runs.. And +1 for Stephen King :smiley:

+1 But, I'm more of a 4:30am to 11pm kind of guy..

^^ This.. - Long and slow runs equal speed over time. - Don't do *hard* running workouts on back to back days. If you run consecutive days, make your second run a slow recovery run. - Hills and intervals are your friend -- learn to love them. - In addition to sprints, work on consistent pacing. Your pace will slow down…

Keep driving.. Go somewhere else.

Complete the ultra specturm in 2015: 50k (Mountain Mist), 40M (Strolling Jim), 50M (Delano 50M), 100k (Undecided), 100M (Undecided), and one Stage Race.

Nerds must remain united because there are only 10 types of people in this world.. those who understand binary and those who do not.

LOL! And math is how I make mine :)

Math is logical and true -- unlike the English language where one word can have multiple meanings. Now THAT is deceptively treacherous.

I agree. I speak fluent math :). It's just easier this way.. :grumble: BTW, I love your weight loss ticker :bigsmile:

This ^. Your confidence going into the marathon will be a lot higher knowing that you have already conquered distances greater than 26.2. If you can increase your mileage base before then and allow a good recovery after you finish the 50k, you should be perfectly fine after a few tune up runs.

I'm selling out and converting over to miles to make it easier on everyone :).

I LOVE your weight loss ticker :).

I do km for quick, easy split calculation while running.. It's just easier for me than something like: what is 9.33 miles * <some pace>.

September Goal: 425km (264 miles) Current Total: 403.32km (250.6 miles) The mini-taper week hosed my goal, but so be it..

Welcome fellow km tracker! I'm not Canadian, but you just don't do engineering/science in US Standard Units. Nerds have been taken out back and stoned for less..
