Today's run pointed out why you just don't go out and run 26.2 miles or beyond without training. It was a hard 14.4 miles. It may have had to do with a lack of sleep (the boy woke up a lot) or it may have just been because it was a 14.4 mile run in August in the south.
Anyway, I took 4 Endurolytes, 1.18 liters of gatorade ( 260 calories), 2.4 liters of water, 1 Hammer's Montana Huckleberry gel (90 calories), and 2 Cliff Shot Razz gel (200 calories). Totals: 550 calories and 3.58 liters of liquid. Three online programs gave me a range of calories burned between 2163-2403 for the run (inputs distance and weight). So subtract out the calories I took in and that leaves between 1633-1850 calories burned will running. It was 84 degrees and 70% humidity at the end of the run. It was overcast to sunny during the run. Pre-run meal: Coffee and two bananas.
Overall: It was a good run because it was hard. Running this far is not always easy but it was fun to be outside (I work from home) and take some new roads (mainly miles 1-5).
Looking at that maps makes me think I should try to run out a design on the map sometime. It looks a bit like someone riding a sick horse.
ReplyDeletethink I would rather take the train than train to run 14 miles. It is far enough on a bike, which is coasting for at last part of the ride.
