Terry great job on the mileage. So are you thinking of doing 50-70 mile weeks through the year? Dang if you do that I'll never be able to beat you at any distance :( Oh well in truth I would love to see what you could do down in SGM on 60-70 miles per week average. I'm thinking sub 2:40 might be a possibility.
Hey Terry I was wondering how you typically fuel during 1/2 marathons? I used to treat them more like marathons but now with the faster pacing they feel more like a 10K. Even on my longer training runs thru the winter I haven't been doing much if any hydrating and only rarely have taken any GU. My usual plan is to take a GU 15 minutes before the race and then in the middle.
Tom, I usually don't eat during a 1/2 marathon just take in some liquids preferably sports drinks to put a few calories in the system. I do like to eat light a couple hours before the race and then maybe something small within a half hour of the race similar to a GU in calories or ease of digestion.
I doubt I'll run high miles for more than a few months in a row. I'm trying to do 50 mile weeks this month and move to 60 mile weeks in Feb & March then do the SLC Marathon in April. Then I'll decrease for awhile.
