My race goal is 2hours, I just want the extra boost to finish beofre that maybe.<BR/><BR/>I am very used to training with carbs, so I am going to take them anyways. I find even on my LSD runs that I am gassed by 12 km, so whatever works I guess.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck with Your Race on Saturday...4 days!! Are you excited yet?!!! I can't wait for the race report!!AddictedToEndorphinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289165436547387984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36265728.post-43073855389597170372007-04-18T10:58:00.000-07:002007-04-18T10:58:00.000-07:00Your rate strategy sounds very aggressive!

Gosh, your race weather sounds very cold and I hope Salt Lake City won't be too cold. I find that I don't need to carry carbs during a half-marathon, have you been training with the same carbs?robison52https://www.blogger.com/profile/02370199642749822405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36265728.post-44955573846512571572007-04-17T16:52:00.000-07:002007-04-17T16:52:00.000-07:00Pre race warmup...

Please note I did not follow this myself :-) 2 minutes of walking, 2 minutes of slow jogging, 2 minutes of fast jogging, 2 minutes of running, walk 2 minutes. 4 100 meter sprints. The idea is to stress your lungs, get them working. Warm your legs up.<BR/><BR/>Race stategy? Take it easy on the uphills. High foot turnover, shorter steps. Take advantage of the downhills and coast, but fly! Most of all, have fun and come back and write us great race report.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36265728.post-54026432252640301602007-04-17T16:02:00.000-07:002007-04-17T16:02:00.000-07:00I've got a great song that you won't find on iTune...I've got a great song that you won't find on iTunes or anywhere else for that matter. However, I don't want to post the link publicly. If you're interested, send me an email message and I will reply with the link. Send it to "cyboc [AT] shaw [DOT] ca". Of course, replace AT with "@" and DOT with "." (if you are not familiar with this custom, I'm doing it to fool email harvesting robots).<BR/><BR/>Your race strategy seems sound to me. I didn't know you were in the 1:45 pace group! Wow! You're pretty fast, Tiger.<BR/><BR/>As for warm up, how many miles does it take your legs to warm up during your Sunday long runs? If it takes 1 mile, then maybe you should do a 1 mile warm up. Just my two cents.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602182138078986641noreply@blogger.com
