Long runs can be tough. Especially for a long run that's a week after one marathon and a week before another one. Especially, especially when I'm tuckered out from some fast-paced mid-week runs. I knew ahead of time that this one wouldn't be pretty. It just had to get done.
To accomplish today's Lester Long Run, I did some of the usual long-run preparation. Yesterday, I drank a lot of fluids, avoided eating too much bad stuff, and pre-packed everything I would need. I also solicited help from my running friends, who showed up for the early as well as the middle miles, thank goodness. Finally, I used some weird nutritional stuff.
How weird? The Haribo Goldbears (gummies), Caffeinated Propel "Fitness Water", and a can of Red Bull are all things I received at recent races and haven't consumed in decades.
