Today's Plan: Run - 5 Miles Easy
Many runners suffer from stomach problems while running, because the gut receives less blood midrun, causing poor GI function. The longer your run, the more likely you'll experience this. To prevent digestive problems, avoid high-fiber foods 24 hours before big workouts. Dehydration and too many midrun carbs worsen stomach issues; be sure to drink plenty of fluids, and don't exceed 30 to 60 grams of carbs per hour on long runs. (Pace: 10:04/mile)
Result: I got up this morning feeling a little sore from yesterday's run. I purposely dialed it back a bit knowing I have a long run planned for tomorrow. 6 miles at 10:22 pace, not record breaking, but pretty steady.
Mile 1 - 11:04
Mile 2 - 10:04
Mile 3 - 10:11
Mile 4 - 10:40
Mile 5 - 10:15
Mile 6 - 9:58
I think it is significant that my fastest mile was my last mile. Finishing strong is one of my goals.
Average HR - 137
Max HR - 157
