just took a few gels yesterday and i was grand. Does anyone ever not eat in conn ultra?

I take a handful of jelly babies and a few sips of lucozade sport. Then I don't fulfill my potential either. I would highly recommend having a nutrition plan.
Salt and vinegar crisps and flat coke go down a treat.

Went down the gym to do a few k at recovery pace. Got on a treadmill and felt poxy. Decided to do 10 mins on the crosstrainer. Felt ok so decided to do a few fastish kms. Set the treadmill to 15.1kph and went until i could go no more.
10km in 19.41.
After the first km when the stiffness went i felt fantastic. Good decision to slow down the last couple of miles yesterday.

I think I only had 4 fig rolls and some gels for Connemara last year. I even only collected two drop off points, because they left the wrong bins at the 32M point.

Now for Conn100 this year, I'll have a personal chef, bartender and desert trolley on standby

13.1 miles in 1.36.22
Still running down the gym because i didnt know how my legs would react after sunday. No probs, legs are perfect. Run was easy.

Oisin11178 · 26-01-2011 11:42PM

Back out on the road. Plan was 3 x 5km. Small warm up and 5 km in 19.53, jesus that was hard, wanted to give up after 1k. Hung on in there. 2 mins rest got a drink from a shop.
Next 5km in 21.15, this was alot more comfortable. 2 mins rest.
Final 5km handy in 22.45. Small warm down.
~10 miles
3.1 in 6.23 a mile
3.1 in 6.48 a mile
3.1 in 7.19 a mile

Oisin11178 · 28-01-2011 12:38AM

8 miles handy. Something wrong with my right quad. Very sore.

Oisin11178 · 29-01-2011 06:31PM

16.2 miles in 7.18 a mile.
Had more left in the tank could have got to 20 at a struggle. Couple of weeks more training and then taper i think its on. Struggled early in this run but settled in and although it wasnt comfortable it wasnt brutal. Happy with that.
Last 7 days 81 miles:D

sarsfieldsrock · 29-01-2011 09:42PM

Hope the quad is okay now. What time you aiming for in Donadea or is it not a target race for you?

You're putting in some great sessions going by your log - great mile pb,especially as it was after 9 others.

I'm still on for giving you the 5 mile rematch someday, only difference is that this time I'd need a 1 mile headstart.............

Told you, you were good for 67:D
