    i'm recuperating from this weeks long club run... which purely took place to be 26.2 miles and timed.. yet we weren't racing. besides different than for that potential Gels: Your physique regularly has adequate loose potential in it for variety of sixteen to 20 miles after which you hit 'the wall' until eventually you address greater potential. for this reason you probably did no longer notice it after 15 miles - your physique became into coping ok as much as then. each gel is composed of a million mile of potential and which you will evaluate 6 or 7 for the full marathon (sounds a lot, I used 6 on the weekend), yet take those gently for the time of the race - no good having 6 at mile 20 once you experience you elect them, provide them time to artwork (one for 6 and 12 miles then 17, 20 and 23 possibly?). good theory to objective them until eventually now you race a pair of cases - even in a shorter run ft - wrinkle loose socks are a would desire to and that i tend to apply mine slightly the day until eventually now the marathon to eliminate the 'purely washed' stiffness. different than for that, commonly used working socks and you would be ok (assuming no issues of the 15 mile run, then the subsequent 11 would be ok) Vaseline - decrease than the arm pits and the place physique areas rub - you would be thankfull for that as quickly as you bathe and the water hits goodskin somewhat then pores and skin rubbed uncooked (additionally elasaplast on the nips) heat up - take the 1st mile superb and stable, perhaps a minute slower than you wish and then velocity up Mile 20 - it relatively is tough yet do no longer worry it....... after which you basically have a 10k run to end and that they are ineffective basic Get there in distinctive time. The night until eventually now lay out all your working equipment so it relatively is straightforward to positioned on interior the morning. Drink quite a few fluids the week until eventually now varied preparation i could provide yet basically a lot time to write down them, final, have exciting!!
