[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you use a plan? If so, do what the plan says. What you do leading up to the race and volume is entirely based on a plan and your experience level. I’ll run for ~1 hour Friday morning with  some 4x4 at my real marathon pace. I decided to do it this morning as my long run. I’ll have to go and buy a bib from the expo.

For food, I would just cut down on fiber the last two days to avoid having a poopin problem. That’s what I do for long course triathlon.

In race nutrition I would hope you practiced by now. I plan to put there for 1:35-1:40, so ~1.7 hours x 50-60g (what I usually do at the end of a half Ironman off the bike for nutrition in gel form) = 4-5 gels. I’m doing that not so much to avoid blowing up, but to speed recovery afterwards. I’ll still do my bike/run on Sunday.

Yeah, it was beginner, but I didn’t do most of the runs during the week. Just the long runs on the weekends and also lifted weights during the week (tapering off heavy leg days the last couple weeks).

I did practice race nutrition and conservatively did only 2 gels.  Now I wonder if I should have done more, but probably too late to add another right? [/quote]
