You would think that these long runs get easier. They don't.
A flat 20 miler today took me 2:31 and I really struggled in the last 2 miles. Nutrition was probably the culprit. No food from the time I woke until 90mins later when I started running, then no gels for the first hour of the run. Less than 2 gels were consumed during the run.
I felt much better when I got to the car, ate a bar and a banana. Then I rode my bike 8 miles so I wouldn't tighten up. That was the only smart thing I did all day!
My foot was pretty sore for the last few miles too. My arch must be falling so the rest of my foot is trying to compensate.
Well maybe I'll peak at the right time for this marathon (wishful thinking).
