RUN
good Hill repeats. x7. Ugh. 6 mi
Hill repeats: 2x bounding/3x strides/2x race pace. Harder than it should have been. A week in Mexico to blame for that, lol. Back at it now, yay!

Curious as to everyone's opinion....Gatorade vs Powerade (or any other sports drink). What's your fave? Also, gels...fave brand and do you buy the ones with caffeine?
-
I'm curious to what people will answer. I'm very new to running, but I prefer Powerade. I haven't found a get that works for me at all... they all make me fall asleep :o even the caffeinated ones. I just buy them at the sports store. Good luck!

I like Nuun tablets,G2 gatorade, or Heed. I also like Stinger honey and chocolate #9 gels (low glycemic index). Gu gels upset my stomach, Hammer gels are ok, I have used them without stomach upset, but not my fav. I only use them when I'm running 11 or more miles, but I always bring one just in case I'm having an off day!

Wow! Great ideas! The green tea/OJ idea is amazing... I have green tea everyday! The gummies sound good too and just like Melanie... having M&M's... a dream come true! I'll try it all! gels have made my runs worse every time I've had them...

great Wednesday Tempo Run 6 mi
We did a 1 mile w/up, 3 mile tempo run and then drills and a 1 mile cool down. Had been dreading it, tempo runs are not my fave like speedwork, but had a great run. Funny when that happens!
