I should not under estimate the need for fueling up. Phew, only had a couple of granola bars, and I forgot to really load up on carbs this past week. This was not too bad for the first 2/3 of the run, but my last bit was pretty difficult. I was hungry for most of it. At least I had water. Now, I think this wouldn't have been that bad if I had kept up with my runs during the week. I can see why building up my leg strength could help here. I still get the funky knee that makes me limp after my long runs. It's never really worse than it was before and it usually goes away.
Good job with the long run! Do you take any gels during your run? It really helps me when I'm doing runs longer than 10 miles.
about 1 month agoNice run! I have the same gimpy knee, but my long runs aren't half what your are. Hoping it doesn't get worse. Well done!
about 1 month agoThat's like...a half-marathon plus some! don't forget to load up or at least carry something with you to eat on your long runs.

about 1 month agoThanks! I had a Hammner gel before the run and tried to stretch out one packet of Luna gummies (like shot blocks?). I did the last 15 mile run on this much, but it was also later in the day when I had food in my system from earlier. Live and learn!
about 1 month agoah, you have the funky knee, i have the funky ankle. good run regardless! :)
