Sorry I am a bit late on the news. ...Awesome Scott. Sorry I am a bit late on the news. I haven't had my head in any blogs lately. Bob (Tokyo Racer) alerted me. It is really hard to know what superlatives to bestow on you, so I won't ;-) ... but seriously, when it all goes so well like that, after such a fantastic training buildup, it is almost anti-climactic isn't it? I mean, I am sure you hooted and whooped and hollered a bit, but in a way you were probable the least surprised of anybody, because you knew from your training that all you had to do was go out there and, as they say, execute. Anyway, as one who came in on your story 3 years ago when you were running 3:18 and dreaming about somehow getting to a sub 3 one day, all I can say is I am very, very happy for you and glad you finally blew away my PB in such an emphatic way! You deserve this.

If you say you can get under to 2:40 then I have no reason to doubt you. I hope to capitalise on the inspiration you give in my training for London 2010.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365423094901002784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-23103260070805490712009-12-28T18:50:33.701+09:002009-12-28T18:50:33.701+09:00Ok, I'm convinced.

I find it very difficult to take fluids at aid stations. I can't drink on the run, but I don't want to stop. So last time I wore a Nike Hydro belt (4 160ml/6 oz. bottles and had 4 gel packets in the belt and a pocket in my shorts. I like the belt and the weight doesn't bother me but I think it caused me to lose my focus (along with the screwed up mile markers). I was thinking too much about when to drink, how much to drink, how much was left, when to take the gels...I think it was more of a hindrance than a help. So I'm trying to decide what to do next time. I'm thinking of carrying two Weider protein gels (which are mostly carbs) and having my wife hand me two more partway through. Carrying them doesn't bother me, I often do it on long runs. But you seem to be able to cope with the aid stations. How do you do it and how much do you drink? And no carbo gels?<br />BobTokyoRacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293712044402763377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-81718562709896502392009-12-28T09:55:36.281+09:002009-12-28T09:55:36.281+09:00Wow- that is a great run.

"have you been ill?" you're know your close to your ideal racing weight!<br />My plan starting in jan is to cut out the crap and eat more fruit and veg, oatmeal and lean meat.<br />you only have to look at how lean the elite guys are, ryan Hall is the same height as me 5.10 but one stone 6 lb lighter than my weight today!<br />anyway Scott maybe your doctor can do a skin fold test so you will know what is safe to lose without eating into your muscle.RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-88955049321841094532009-12-27T20:01:13.396+09:002009-12-27T20:01:13.396+09:00Yes, well done again.
