I was pretty dissatisfied with my run last week. I felt great for 10 miles, but then I just ran out of energy. So Jennifer bought me some HEED and some energy gels to help me combat fatigue.
Today was a great training run. I was able to sustain a strong effort for the entire run. I ran the same course as last week, but I finished 7 minutes faster. I averaged 7 minutes per mile and finished in 1:38.
I drank 36 ounces of fluid with 2 scoops of Heed and I sucked down two energy gels. I started to feel tired aroung Mile 11 again, but I didn't lose any power or speed. Last week I really suffered on the last two hills, and this week I powered through both!
