24 miles today......I think I am ready

[Gymgurl]

for 26.2 miles!

 

[heatherrae]

dang, I've never heard of anyone running that far in their marathon training. You certainly can do 26 if you can do 24. When is the race. You probably need lots of recovery time after doing 24. How long did it take to do 24?

 

[SaladFork]

Good job GiGi!! Was that your last long run before the marathon?

 

[Gymgurl]

Yep last long run....thank god.....I think for me the 24 thing was a mental thing...I know now that I can do the 26.2. Also It makes hitting the wall less likely.

 

[puddlemonkey]

Awesome!

 

[Gymgurl]

Thanks guy!! I feel great!

 

[Gymgurl]

The rest of my runs are not eventful

 

[Smurfy]

Still early in the season, you should plan a half Ironman. This would be the year to do it!

[javaguru]

Congrats...the longest distance I ever ran was 30k and it sounds like you're ready. IMO, running is mostly mental. As my DS told me in basic,"You haven't run too far or too fast until you pass out. "

 

[eddymerckx]

Fig newtons rock when running

 

[stosstruppe]

What time are you looking to run the marathon in?

 

[xrsist]

well done gg

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I have total respect for you. I run 5k every time I train now. My longest run has been 6mi this year, but my knee is bothering me so I try to keep it lower. Ran a St. Patties day run sat 5mi. Thats about all I am willing to do this year. Maybe a half marathon in the summer.

 

[KickNitRight]

fantastic.

 

[BNG]

AWESOME!!! But we need pics

 

[Arabian]
