Goo/Water/Gatorade????? Whats best?

Jesse,

Reporting in here T-minus 16 days till Chi-Town!!! Listen I have sponsered all 7 of us with a pacetat that I will have for us by next week!! I also wanted to get your feedback on mixing gaterade/water/goo. I have been reading on many websites that if you do all three you tend to get very upset stomachs and that you should NOT do SPORTSDRINKS. I have read that you need to keep 100 calories an hour going in while running while keep a steady in take of H2O.

I have heard many of the runners in this group complaining of upset bubbling stomaches during and after our runs. Many stories on-line talk about how marathoners are throwing up from miles 20-26 so its something to keep in mind.

My conclusion for me is: Take a goo/gel 15 minutes before we start, and then every 45 after. Drink little to NONE gaterade, and stay hydrayed with water from the beginning. I have been doing this and feeeling MUCH better in my runs...Let me know what you all think.....

shin splints n' micro fractures

"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit." 

everyone will have a different goal... 

                   "what's your pace??" 

     "what's your race goal????"  

mine???????.....run for the finish!

So today me Hannah and Gabe hit St. Clair shores for our 20 miler :)  We all started off SOOO very strong, we even got to run in a 10 k on Jefferson too!!! At mile 11 I felt is if I could run it twice... Me and Hannah we doing so good on our time and Gabe wasn't far behind us!!! I loved running down by the Mansions so much!!! Everything was sooo beautiful and it was perfect running weather!  At mile 19 I all of a sudden within 3 secs got terribly tired... but me and Hannah knew we could finish it and do it strong... We got back in record time for both of us... We ran it in 2 hrs and 55 min... 8 1/2 min pace miles :) WOW Hannah we rock... Gabe did so awesome too!!! I was so happy to run with him... I am so proud of you Gaber!  Pain... None, Walking-Never Ceasing, Tired - Never, Strong , Determined, READY!!!!
