You're quite right to question this, I've mistaken a '1' for a '7'
before running by race time displays, a 47:xx would be more likely for me,
and I didn't check my watch. I try to doublecheck before posting times, but
unlike last year, the RD didn't bother printing out times as runners came
in, telling us to just check the website, and there's nothing there yet.
Well congratulations either way.
A 47 and change would be something under 8 minutes a mile for a 10k
while a 41 is down in the mid+ 6 minute range.
What kind of pace do you usually run for longer races? That might be
a useful checkpoint.
If you were thinking you were going to run an hour and fifteen minutes
for a 12k ( I think that was in your original post ... that sounds
like what 10:30+ per mile ). |

Training Week Ending October 5, 2008
Mon 0 weights
Tue 5.7 warmup, 5x alternating 400M/200M with short rest, CD
Wed 3.2 hills, easy
Thu 6.2 hills, steady
Fri 3.1 easy
Sat 3.1 easy
Sun 11.6 hills, easy/long
Total: 32.9 miles running, + some walking; Time On Legs ~ 6 hours
Goals: 10K on Oct. 26; HM Nov. 9.
Things I Learned This Week:
Thursday: Goelitz/Jelly-Belly "Sport Beans" are pukey factory guy
had given me some samples).
Sunday: that particular shoe/sock combo was starting to give me a
distinctly blistery-feeling hot spot after about 1:45:00 (though no
blister visible... it might be floating down there).
Peace,

I tried these a couple marathons ago, and they're a disaster. Nothing
gastric, but actually opening the package and extracting them, once the
temperature warmed up and they stuck together. And then being forced to
chew on them while they're sticking to the teeth, and attempting to breathe
at the same time? No thanks. Gels are infinitely better imho for single
servings. I'd be interested in bulk gel like the bottles Hammer sells, but
dispensing it during the race from those little waist bottles I'm not sure
about either, never having tried it. It would be fun to try something
different in hydration/fueling for this upcoming Palo Duro 50.

Thanks for the tip. I got some a free sample in an order a couple years
ago, and I never tried them. I don't like jelly beans anyway, so they
just looked like they'd be horrible.
I'm one of those that can't imagine trying to open a gel packet and suck
down a full serving of one while running. I did revisit gels (powergel
chocolate) this past spring. While dealing with the tabs was a pain, I
couldn't get down more than a swallow or two. I did have a plastic bag
ready for it to resume later, which I think I did try, but ended up
throwing the rest out. And I'm a chocoholic who didn't think any form of
chocolate could be made bad.
As I understand it, different brands of gel have different thicknesses.
And I know the Succeed products have directions how to make gels out of
them for those that desire - including how to make various thicknesses.
But I haven't tried. I was revisiting gels as a faster way to deal with
treating water and getting calories through something liquid or
semi-liquid. I ended up keeping with the sports drink, since I only
needed to refill the bladder once.
If it's the bottle on the belt that's an issue, you might try the
shoulder strap ones - or whether it's the bottle itself.
I used 10oz bottles of slimfast on my shoulder strap and that worked
fine for me. My equivalent of gels.

Goals: Local GP races, marathon in Dec. Not a good week, but oh well.
Mon: The Flu. No running.
Tue: Ditto.
Wed: 3.62 mi very easy. Felt good to get out, but still a bit woozy.
Thur: 5.37 mi at (no spam) 9:19 on tread, so I can watch the VP debate. Feeling
better today.
Fri: DNR. Almost seemed like it came back, felt fairly rotten today!
Sat: 6.3 mi at (no spam) 9:35. Better.
Sun: Jim Click Run N Roll 8k. 39:44. Odd race today. Ran the first
two miles way too fast. I guess the interval work has now made that
kind of speed feel more normal; I could swear I was going 7:30-7:40,
but the first was 7:10 and second 7:15. Then the stomach decided to
revolt and I slowed waaay down. Not my worst but certainly not a PR.
Though it was good for an AG 3rd. Ran a 2-mi warmup, and after ran
an hour so as to complete marathon training mileage. Oddly, that
made the tummy happy.
Total: 27.29 mi

I like to use a litte gel-flask, that's designed to hold 5 gels, but I
use 3-4 and put in water to fill it. That makes it flow easier.

Why such a big goal? You can do 15 miles a week and be in great
shape, and be good to go for 10k races. |

My goal, after the marathon in two weeks and my surgery shortly
thereafter, is also to build up to 30 miles per week. And once I get
comfortable with that, to increase beyond that.
Once I get up there, I'll have a better base for further marathon
training.

True, it will keep you in general good shape and get you to the finish
line of a 10k. Others want to go faster or further to feed the
competitive or evil spirits. In that case 15 is like a todlers first few
steps. Running is an outlet with different meaning to different people.
Same for one's job or hobby.
It's perfectly ok to chose the minimalist path to good health only you
seem to suggest that more miles per week is somehow detrimental to life.
If you grow your miles slowly/smartly/safely, you can avoid or minimize
any injuries.

Nothing wrong with 60 to 75 a week ... it will keep you out of most
kinds of trouble! |
