    We have Whooping cough going through all of our schools down here. Hopefully he doesn't have that there is a lot of kids coughing down here. Have you done a sweat test to see what water and sodium replacements you need? I have been researching what I can do to help me maintain myself to achieve an ultra next year nutrition wise. I am trying to approach my runs and fitness with both pre run nutrition aswell as recovery. I definitely think it will help you feel better ❤ Your body always seems to pet you know when you are missing something or it needs assistance.

      Oh man that was Term 3 for us. Between whooping cough and influenza a we had the worst attendance right across town. That’s why I took Monday off. I needed him tested. It was killing me! He’s on the mend now though. I haven’t done a sweat test yet. I still wonder about the efficacy of a sweat test considering how many different conditions we run in. You’re spot on about the body. Mine needs sleep. It’s not getting it until the end of term though so I just have to be kind. Super excited to see what you’re able to put down on the trails. Will you do the series down there?

      Yeah my husband finished earlier and said he was waiting for me at the Yopro stall. I couldn’t find any stalls and asked 2 groups of volunteers at information desks. None of them knew and they both asked me to ask the other desk😂 . So after the early morning long wait, running 43km then walking randomly in the wind inside the botanic garden directionless, I eventually ended up leaving botanic garden somehow without seeing any stalls, had to cross the last km road and walked long way back to Circular Quay station. My husband went home with a lot of goodie bags and the only place inside the garden I saw was the recovery zone, as if we finished the marathon in the parallel worlds.

  • @frangalarza
    @frangalarza หลายเดือนก่อน

    I had a very similar experience! I got there early and it was freezing so I decided to jog around for a bit but there was nowhere to run. I went out of the park to run on a side street but a marshal was telling people to leave and get back in the park. Pretty weird, we were all in the park with nowhere to go and nothing to do. That was strange! Then getting in the starting corral and standing for 1 hour with no toilets and no room to move was unnecessary. I really needed to pee again before I even crossed the start line (had had only 600ml of electrolyte and 500ml of water and Maurten 320). I reckon they need to fix those things next year. Also had a similar experience around 34K where my tummy felt funny and I decided to delay the intake of more gels. Definitely the right call!

    • @runningwithaj
      @runningwithaj หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah I think it's a fairly minor change, just don't put people in the pens until a few minutes before start and I would definitely get there later. I think the early load up on gels is a strategy that has worked for me. Hopefully it continues to work in the future. Thanks for watching

    Nice work! I live and run in Sydney all the time but to do it as part of a marathon was something else! My first one too! You’re absolutely right, the wind was gnarly heading down Anzac Pde! Great video

      Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I kept thinking how great it would be to come back the other way. I was shattered every time the wind hit us at a cross road!
