I successfully ran my first full marathon 2 weeks ago. Up to that point my longest run was 18 miles. I had done 22 miles split up between a 10 and 12 miler in the same day. I normally run on flat ground and had not been doing any running hill work, (although I am a big hiker, and had done some trail running, but it wasn't part of my consistent training regimen). The difference between 18 miles and 26 miles is huge, but they say if you can hit that 20 mile mark, you can grind out that final 10K. My race featured A LOT of hills, and it wore me down pretty hard. I also don't feel like I carb loaded enough prior. My knee was hurting for the last 8 miles, but I kept pushing forward. At the final stretch, the crowd was roaring and clapping, and I could hear the announcements over the PA system. The adrenaline rush hit me and I sprinted the final 50 meters or so. My buddy who came to show support (both of us military veterans) jumped out along side me and we crossed the finish line together. It was such a surreal moment and an incredible experience. I'm still recovering from the race (the knee issue) but I can't wait to get back to the grind and run my next one. Looking to do a 50K ultra.

For hydration take a look at "Gel Water" and how this relates to running and biking and to give an example to put in a teaspoon of ground chia seeds to your hydration mix....this helps covert the water into gel water H3O2 and gives this slower uptake consistant up take....great off the bike when getting enough fluids becomes more difficult .

Your better off not eating like this befor yoir long runs. At the 2 hour time mark yoir body will attempt to switch over to fat for fuel VS muscle glycogen. If your full of food its hard for your body to do this during your run so youll be left not onoy running on a less efficient fuel source but your body will not be trained to run off of fat, which it will need to be efficient at come the last 3rd of that marathon.
