No...not just you.Although I was racing today and not doing LSR,I lost 1kg over 10k.Sweat was just pouring out of me. Have to say I hate running in the heat and high humidity,much prefer cooler weather.

I lost 4kg during Sunday's 24km LSR, prior to rehydration. yikes!

Great idea for the week number, makes it much easier to track.

Short a session or two this week, missed the track on Wednesday and didn't run on Saturday to get a good attempt at the 10km. Finished in 45:54 which I am definitely proud of. Looking forward to this weeks 12 miler.

Well done on getting a PB on a tough course. From talking to people who ran it, it wasn't a day for fast times.

Thanks, it was appropriately 20 Degrees so a warm day with the hilly course. Next one up is the Bay 10k another hilly race but at least the uphill are mostly in the first half, reckon I should pull under the 45 mark. McMillan gives me a 3:35 based off that 10k, I'm training for 3:30 so so far on track, will be interesting to see if my 10 mile time matches up.

4.22 miles tonight in a downpour....avg pace 9:18 avg HR 130

Absolutely drenched. Wasn't in the mood for doing this at all. Feeling very tired.Maybe a little fatigued from two races last week.I'm not really sure why.Maybe I just need a few early nights this week to recover.

Felt ok on the run but tired now again.

Bought some sports Jelly beans to try on next LSR. Anybody ever tried these,think they are any use?

Haven't tried those. I have been popping a glucose pill towards the end of the LSR, but I want to start using gels, as I think they'll be required for the main event. Anyone got any advice re gels?

liamog

I used the Kinetica gels last year and was grand with them though saying that I'm changing tactics this year.

I was at a Marathon training last month and the advice was to avoid gels for LSR's except as a possible rehearsal. The idea is that you want to train the Glycogen system as much as your muscles. If you take a gel every 6 miles then really you are just training your body that there will always be "easy" fuel available and not to burn fat.

I'm sure there are many more experienced people who can add their 2 cents

Have used Kinetica and MaxiFuel Viper.Found those quite thick and gloopy and difficult to carry as they are quite big. Didn't have any stomach issues with either but want to try a few others this year. So bought the jelly beans and a few power bar ones..ones with caffeine and ones without.

There are loads of threads here about gels, but the gist of it is that you shouldn't try anything on race day that you haven't tried during training. Gels are tough on the stomach and the last thing you want is a *surprise* halfway though your race.

Ran home from work this evening..Dublin City Centre to Bayside.

6.32 miles 59:56...avgpace 9:29 HR 133/147

This was a horrible run...definitely the least enjoyable run in weeks. Just felt so damn tired. It was at the right"easy" pace for me but it felt so laboured I just didn't enjoy it. Had to run it in my spare shoes as usual ones were still soaking from the run in the rain last night.

I'm hoping this tiredness will wear off soon and I just need to run through it. Going for run round Bray head tomorrow evening so that will definitely be a test!

Was on hols for week1 , but ran 40km mostly hills, but lovely scenery, back with a bang now, following the plan religiously. Forgot about the 'must-get-out-for-the-run' feeling. Missus W annoyed already !!

4th session this week , done this morning.
3 x 1.5mile
Gotta get a running watch as i have my phone app ,( endomondo ),
in Km's. So I did a 2 km warm up, 2km fast,2km recovery. and so on..
Finished 12kms absolutely shattered. Have to get the diet right now from this week on, as I hate feelin drained after sessions. Any tasty tips gratefully accepted !:)

P.s. Am I correct in thinking the Weekly sessions column is just for runs completed on the week in progress? I see a couple of logs with this column over 4 so far,; That can't be correct surely?

Thx, Mr.W~

This is Week 5, and nobody has logged anything yet. I run six days a week and log here on a Sunday ...

liamog

That's pretty much the general consensus, update the table once a week, either Sunday or Monday.

I did a really good circuit training session last night, it was nice to break out of the normal aerobic training.

4.99miles tonight...Bray Head Loop avg pace 12:12...wow that was tough going. Beautiful evening, beautiful views and beautiful hills!

Felt better than last night so did enjoy this,don't think I'll be doing it every week though:). Was a good work out. Elevation gain 347m.

Think the rest day will do me good tomorrow.
