Thanks so much!!!
17 miles today. I could hear the wind howling and knew it was cold out. I pondered doing a taper from my 16 last weekend. Then I watched the NYC marathon. What motivation to get my butt outside!! Those top athletes are amazing. I can't believe in 2 more months I will also be a marathoner!!!
Does beer count?
I use Gu recovery smoothies. I've also used hammer recovery. I prefer the way the gu tastes. If I forget one after a long run I remember how much they help me.
I wrote a while back asking for long running routes at Coronado Springs.
Mandatory McFlurry stop for me when passing that McDonald's, at least during the Marathon.

Hi all! So two weekends ago I ran a 10k and Half back to back in one weekend. I went all out in both of them and majorly PR'd in the 10k and PR'd by a minute & a half in the Half. Yay! However..now I have new injury.
I can't figure out if its sciatica or piriformis syndrome (what I'm leaning towards). Basically its pain that runs from the bottom half of my butt down the back of my leg. It's both aching pain and sharp shooting pain. It hurts to sit for a while unless I put something under my hip on that side.
I've been doing stretches I've found online but I don't think they're working. I can't seem to get at the pain with the foam roller, Stick or Trigger Point Therapy Ball. However, I have managed to bruise my butt by using the ball. So now it hurts from the injury and it feels bruised!!
Does anyone have any out of the box or really good suggestions or tips?
We're moving over to the Contemporary on Saturday of marathon weekend. Can we actually get to the resort that morning with the half going on? We wanted to get checked in before heading over to DHS.
Anyone know from the past if an iphone 5 battery will last the whole marathon if I take lots of pictures and maybe even video? Not just a few pictures, I'm talking lots of pictures? Or should I carry a regular small camera?
thanks!
It would not count on it. I am not the fastest runner out there and mine has never made it through the entire marathon. So, I bought an inexpensive Jockery portable recharger. With that I do not have a problem.
yeah I was wondering on a portable charger. Thanks!
I bought this on Amazon for my sons iPhone 5:

He loves it, It basically doubles his battery life and it is nothing extra to carry.
For the 2013 Marathon I had an iPhone 4, used the runkeeper GPS tracker, played music, posted to Facebook and took a few pictures and had no problem with the battery lasting the whole run.
And training for the 2015 Dopey I just finished my 20 mile run (3.5 hrs) with my iPhone 5 again using runkeeper GPS and playing music and it used less than 40% of the battery. So it is possible that your phone may be able to make it through the run.
Hello runners! Interested in some training advice from experienced marathoners.
I've been following a plan for the full that is a combination of Galloway and Higdon (but no walking, other than walking through aid stations to drink.) I've run four half marathons this year, so I'm typically in training for something along the way. My half PR is 1:52, but I'm trying not to focus on time for the full - just finish and be relatively comfortable. I usually run a shorter distance (3-4 miles) 3x per week and then a longer distance (10 miles or more) on the weekends. Just did a 20-mile run yesterday and it went well. I felt fine during and after the run - it just gets a little boring after a while and takes a ton of time away from my husband/kids/puppy on the weekends.
So now I'm thinking about continuing this pattern until a taper that begins three weeks before the marathon. Wondering how long those really long runs should be. Considering two more 20s, or maybe a 20 and then a 15. Or since the 20 went well yesterday, maybe that's enough of the 20s and I should stick to 15s. Advice?
