Today was the hardest run, I ran the whole way but struggled for the last 2 miles, good training running on tired legs. I spoke to Elson today about how many Electrolytes (This explains what they are http://www.planetultra.com/training/born2.html) to take during the 100 as I don't really take them that much but need to take them in this race as could be out there for 30 hours. I have decided to take one Electrolyte every hour and a gel every 45 mins. I am not sure I will be able to take 40 gels as after taking 12 in the Thames Path 50 miler I felt a little sick. Luckily there will be food at aids stations as well so I will be taken on food as substitutes. It's sort of becoming a reality now, race is 2 weeks on Saturday and it's starting to hit me that 100 miles is a long way, massive distance to cover in one go. As Elson has said to me, the worst bit is when you have covered 50 miles and your knackered,it starts getting dark and you have to cover the hardest part of the race in the dark with a head torch on. Anyway game on...!!!!take it on!!!!this week is probably going to be around 50-60 miles, I have the Brentwood half on Sunday with some friends, I probably wont be in any state for a p.b but you never know.
