Ran my first in October and I didn't eat or drink right for the race. I went out too hard and was dead last 6 miles. Ran first 13.1 in 148 and change and than finished at 358.... Currently just started running again. I hope to break t he 350 to 345 range.
i might have missed it. you use a gel an hr... do they contain caffeine? i have a well huge hill that doesnt stop going up at about mile 12 or so. i use the caffeine to get me up. i can ride that until mile 20. With still 6 more miles to go, do i pop another caffeine or stick to a no caffeine gel? to get me to the finish.
Gels, caffeine etc are all over-rated. Suck gummy sweets, ultimately no diff. It's mind over matter that counts, just about everything else is an excuse.
This is excellent advice. I am a marathoner and I absolutely agree with everything this guy says.
Good advise..thanks for your time

can you please convert that pacing into kms and for a sub 3 hour marathon?
