How do you know you are getting closer to race day? You run 37 miles in the past week with a 14 mile run as the closer.
I completed 14 miles at a 9.00 pace. My heart rate never exceeded 140; or 75% of my maximum heart rate. I felt comfortable the entire way and never labored. I ran mid-day and had not eaten enough before the run. For me, running with a 'full stomach feeling' is uncomfortable. However, as I develop as a runner I am more sensitive to the weakness I feel if I have not eaten appropriately pre-run. I was thankful I brought a Kellogg Protein Meal Bar with me. I downed the bar at mile 10 and perked up soon thereafter.
The more I run the less I feel like eating. This is really not a good thing and I need to eat to compensate for running 37 or more miles each week.
Hydrating correctly has become a part of my daily life and I have developed a nice routine to hydrate during a run.
My hamstring and thigh muscles felt much better; the ligament on the bottom of my right foot was manageable.
