Nutrition Overload

Another 10 mile run this morning.  Not hard, but not easy.  I'm still doing these longer runs with the mindset "run so you're tired, Ed."  That way I just do whatever I feel like pace-wise but I always negative split it and wind up with a pretty decent run.

It's how I did all my training for my one and only Marathon and my first Half.  I didn't really know any better at the time and was really just concerned with finishing, however training this way has it's strong points so both races were good ones.  Thinking back I actually did do two track workouts before the Half.  Now two workouts aren't going to make but so much difference, however they did show me that I really could increase my speed over 13 miles by running 800 repeats.  Yasso's 800's.  Now an absolute must whenever I'm coming up on a 10K or longer where my time matters to me.

This week Bob and I were talking about nutrition and what we've learned, and are still learning.  So during my run this morning I thought I'd share an experience I had and my thoughts on taking vitamins and supplements.  And like Cyrano I decided to do this post with a little panache and record it on the run.

So there you have it.

Run on!
