    I agree, at least 1 UCan per hour. On my long run, I try to get 60 grams of carbs per hour. 1/3 from a UCan, 1/3 from Skratch carb drink (25g per flask and 1 flask per hour), and 1/3 from a food source like a chew, bar, etc. For me, the skratch chews taste the best and after that, the cliff blocks. But I understand some people don’t like the texture. Your runs are looking great Susie! 😀👍🏼❤️🌈🏃🏻‍♀️

    • @IRunThings
      @IRunThings 13 дней назад

      I have never used Skratch and a lot of people are recommending it lately. I guess ita my turn to give it a try!! I don't know that i will be able to consume 60 grams an hour moving forward... The times when I've had 60 grams of carbs I haven't done well in races. And by not done well I mean I ran slower. I have run faster taking 40 grams an hour, and i ran my fastest marathon ever with 100grams of carbs during the whole Marathon ( i took 3 gels and a banana). Why? I don't know. It seems counterintuitive to what everyone is saying. But that is my experience. 🙂

Just such co2 tolerance training 30 seconds breath holds it’s with a woman.

I just forget about it and I don't put 2 and 2 together till I get my left eye to bother me. Then I am like... crap again? Supposedly it gets milder and milder every time.

    I would urge you to not focus too much on VO2Max from the watch (good too look at data but it is not always trustworthy). The other stuff you talk about like not being able to complete long runs, yes, those are good indicators, but the watch is fallible. Mine fluctuates 4 points fairly often (it's even fluctuated like 6+ points going down to like 54 and as high as 62. I'm sitting at 59 now but I ran my fastest marathon when it was like 57 🤷‍♀ - the things I pay attention to are resting heart rate and HRV. But resting heart rate shows if you are not recovering - it is stays higher). I was thinking about you yesterday on my run - and while I'm not a coach, I have been through a lot of different plans and had coaches before (had one I paid for back in 2017 - ultimately I improved more without one), I think that if you want to get faster, it is the weekly aerobic volume you are putting in. It's great that you are doing those treadmill hikes - any additional amount of time you can put into the week where you get your HR up will help. I do wonder if this plan is just too low on mileage. I did not see marked improvement in my performances until I routinely hit 40+ miles per week (that is when I finally did BQ, I peaked at 50-something miles). Some people don't need that but they are often genetically gifted runners. Speed work like strides is definitely important as we age (very important), too.

    • @IRunThings
      @IRunThings 20 дней назад

      I agree with all these assessments. :) Yes I think it was too low on miles, but I already upped the mileage last week and plan on running more miles than what the plan calls for. basically I am keeping the long run with the miles at MP, and then upping every run. And getting rid of the threshold. I hate thresholds and I've always done better in races without them. I think they are the kind of run that I dont recover from fast enough. I didn't do it last week (did intervals instead) and my long run was tough, but I did it.

      @littlerunner4505 20 дней назад

      @@IRunThings Yeah, thresholds can work but you can get away without them just doing more Z1/Z2 volume and some high end speed work. I wouldn't worry about adding tempo/threshold until you get up to at least 40 miles per week. Then it might make sense (but TBH, I would probably put more effort into getting to 50 mpw before I would worry about adding tempo).

    Fantastic run, Suzie! The summer heat and humidity is no joke and you did an amazing job getting over 20 miles in those conditions. You've got some big goals ahead of you and I think it was a really smart call not totally selling out for another lap or two and possibly compromising your training. I hope it didn't take too long to recover. (Btw I watched this last weekend but I've been loopy myself lately and never left a comment for you.)

      Yeah. I ran with Ucan this weekend and my 16 mile long run with 6 at marathon pace went reasonably well. I think I could have used a 3rd gel but I didn't bonk at all. It's just interesting it's changed over time

    I’m also in NJ and post-menopausal, and if it weren’t for run/walk, I would not be able to run at all in the summer because I overheat so easily which can leave me feeling awful for the rest of the day. This summer has been terrible. I’m looking forward to cooler weather. You should make a video of running the seven mile beach around Avalon and Stone Harbor. It’s so pretty and the sand is packed. Perfect for running at low tide when it hits early in the morning around sunrise.

      If you go to nyrr.org you will find all of their races listed. There's a lottery so pay attention to when it opens. It tends to be around early November. Usually right after NYC Marathon. But that could change. Follow nyrr on Instagram, they will post there too.
