Hi everyone. we are slowly getting closer to April and hopefully nicer weather. I have to say I am glad i got my long run in on Saturday. 25K training run done. The weather was perfect for it. There was some tough spots on the run due to ice but finished with no falls. Now we are back into strong winds
Monday hour on the bike indoors
Tue hour run
wed strength training and swim
thursday run
Friday 2 hour run and barre class
Saturday my run if I do not get it in on Friday
Sunday rest
Yay! I'm back!!
Monday- Walked 5 plus miles, did 15 minutes of weight training (it's all I'm allowed), stayed on track for food and water! Woot!
Tuesday- Walked almost 6 miles, water in and unfortunately food din't go as planned...
Wednesday- Walked almost 8.5 miles, water was great, food had a few bumps and too much going on to get my workout in... 
Thursday- On track again and trying to hit all my goals today! Wish me luck!

You are so right . we are so different. what works for one will not work for another. I agree we need the carbs. If i ate what you did i be in so much trouble. never try anything new on race day or the day before. My trainer has a garbage can stomach she can eat and take anything in with no issue. She makes me jealous
Glad you are listening to your body. Hope it is nothing to serious and after the 15 it will be better for you
It is -24 Celsius here. Suppose to do a run tomorrow but if it stays this cold will be doing treadmill. I am so not ready for my race coming up. ash wed in my church start with a soup dinner and than church so i have to miss master swim
That doesnt sound fun at all Gwen. Hope you get o feeling better.

The best advice is to try everything. Lots of different stuff works for lots of different people. For a faster road marathon, I'll use GU and what ever sports drink the race supplies. For slower trail ultras, I usually use Tailwind and real food like PB&Js, quesadillas, chips and candy, etc. It's not great for the diet part of all this, but it fuels my runs like I want. I've tried to do this stuff on low carbs and it just makes me feel like garbage.
So for a road marathon my fuel would be something like this. (assuming aid stations are every 2 miles)
Breakfast: Nuetella or PB bagel
Gels every 6 miles, Gatorade every other aid station.
So water at mile 2, Gatorade at mile 4, water and gel at mile 6, repeat.
The key is experimenting to find what fuel and what fuel schedule works best for your body.

I've been pretty AFK due to school. My exercising is really just my fitness classes at this point. My uterus is making me avoid running since running = excruciating pain. Not running has its own issues. So that sucks. I've got a race this weekend that's supposed to be a half, but I'm probably just going to walk the 5k and call it a day. Glad I don't need to prove to myself that I CAN do a half, because I already know I can.
Thankfully I just got answers about my uterus on Friday and I'll know what the fix-action is on the 15th. Good to know there's resolution in sight!
