S6H. 23 miles training run.
T=38 degrees, sprinkling, and no wind. After 3 miles, ran with short sleeve tech Tee , tight, and double gloves.
Drank 3/4 gal of Gatorate on Friday and 1/2 gal on Sat. morning. Took 4GUs, 4 Cliff blocks during the run. There were also Powerade water stops at every 3-4 miles.
Started slowly then after 6 miles gradually picked up the pace. First 18 miles at 8:45" average running time. Faster on next 5 miles. Last 3 miles were at 8:00" pace or faster. Felt great even toward the end of the run. Finished the run without any cramping or feeling exhausted. Definitely my best and fastest 23 miles training run. Very encouraging!
