I survived my 14 mile training run yesterday. I joked that I would burst into flames once I ran past 13.1 miles, but nothing that dramatic happened! I took the picture above once I finished as evidence of no flames.
This was the first time I fueled my runs with GU. I used GU at mikes 5 and 10. I tried the chocolate mocha (caffeinated) and vanilla. The taste of both was ok taken with a lot of water. I felt like the mocha one really worked well. It gave me a good boost of energy, I will be buying that again. It certainly makes a mess. I can see why they say part of marathon training is nutrition. I had GU everywhere. No idea how it got on my hat.
Next week I have to start drinking Gatorade. I do not like it. It always on race courses and it will be on the marathon course.
One week done!
