High Mileage Week

It's been awhile since I last posted and I have been busy. Training is going well, I have never ran so much before! Last week was 36 miles and this week will be 38. Last week's long run of 12 miles felt great, however afterwards I was tired all day. Tomorrow I have 14 miles and I am planning on taking a nap when I finish!

Last week I did strength training 3 times, this week I have only managed 1 session and yoga for 20 minutes. Yoga felt great, I am hoping to start doing yoga once a week because it really helped my legs and hips.

I am also thinking of nutrition for the race. I have used gu and sports beans in the past and want to try something else. The consistency of gu makes me gag and sports beans are hard to eat as I get tired. I think I am going to try gu chomps. Anyone have any ideas?
