Long-Distance Relay Advice?
Hey runner pals! I am running a 200 mile relay on a 6-woman team next weekend. It looks like it will be just over 30 miles for me, running over the course of 28 hours. I'll be doing about 5-7 miles every 5-6 hours. All 6 of us stay in one van over the course of the race, meeting each runner at exchange points. Has anyone…

Gels?
I have a gel question. Training for a fall marathon and I'm pretty new to gels. I understand it's common to take one every hour in a marathon, yes? But how often in training?

50 miles--yikes!
Four more sleeps until my first 50 miler! Anxiety high! Starting to think about my drop bag. The course is a "Y" shape and I will have access to my drop bag 3 times. Any distance runners out there have any drop bag advice? Any treat that kept them going? Anything they wish they had put in there, but didn't? So far, I just…

Dailymile?
Anyone here use dailymile to track their miles? If so, always happy to have more running pals there also! http://www.dailymile.com/people/cathyleefaye
