Cherish me as you’d cherish the summer sun
Await for me like a fox for a full moon
Desire for me as a bee would for a budding flower
Thirst for me like the soil parched in arid sun
Yearn for me like the longings that aren’t yet fulfilled
Hello!
Age: 35/M
MPW: 20-25
Weights: 1-3x/week - decreased load to 1x/week during taper weeks
I have few years of running experience, mostly running 1-2 half’s every year. Last two years, I’ve done the Big Sur 21 miler without a consistent fueling strategy. This year, I’ve dialed down fueling strategy and have been training consistently but in my long run before the taper, I did hit a wall at the end of the 20 miles. Felt like my legs were going to give up. I’ve dialed down my fueling strategy to 30g/25 mins and 0.6l/hr of water with 0.5 lmnt. I am still nervous.
What can I do in next 5 days to increase my odds of an injury finish within 5 hours. Any dos/donts, or course specific suggestions would be great.
I’ve been a lurker and the community is general has been inspirational.
