I simply ran out of gas after mile 7 and I think, now, that it was the high humidity (98%, even though the temperature was only 68°) and under-hydration (I actually drank very little during the first 7 miles). I had hoped to run the whole thing but was down to no better than a 1:1 r:w ratio by the end.<BR/><BR/>Wes gave some good advice -- base your fluid intake on how much you lose. That makes it a bit more difficult to know how much to intake on a given run. But, if you drink a lot more than you need, you'll end up with the hyponatremia problem caused by diluting your blood (Wikipedia says that 13% of marathoners in a recent Boston Marathon were hyponatremic, 0.6% of them life-threatenly so).Bob Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251531486621495599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-52730355810960361092008-10-01T12:17:00.000-04:002008-10-01T12:17:00.000-04:00Ultra runners eat pb all the time, and I do too. ...Ultra runners eat pb all the time, and I do too. It works fine. If you don't have bread, another nice alternative is to slap it on a whole grain tortilla, roll it up and cut into chunks. Yummy! Eric took a burrito with him on last weekend's long run. I'm taking trail mix at Leavenworth - that's my something new on race day. <BR/><BR/>Have fun in Italy - can't wait to read all about it!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-39607424505313796612008-09-29T21:01:00.000-04:002008-09-29T21:01:00.000-04:00You need easy digestibles.

But you know what, if it works for you, go with it.<BR/><BR/>JodiJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569509029841348727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-39682838960607023352008-09-29T20:17:00.000-04:002008-09-29T20:17:00.000-04:00It's funny but I always go on my runs with a water...It's funny but I always go on my runs with a water bottle now. Even on the 3-5 mile jaunts. I've developed the habit of taking a few sips every now and then and seem to become very thirsty if I don't pack along some water. I'll call it a well developed good habit.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about the peanut butter sandwich during a marathon but I guess as long as you have some water to wash it down it will give you the protein, carbs, and full feeling, you are looking for. <BR/><BR/>Enjoy Italy!Journey to a Centumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294889164059934956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-11915012601559557282008-09-29T13:15:00.000-04:002008-09-29T13:15:00.000-04:00If you are sweating a lot, you won't need to go to...If you are sweating a lot, you won't need to go to the port-a-john :-) Even if your run is an hour, you can practice. If you REALLY want to dial in your hydration, determine your sweat rate. Weigh yourself naked before and after you run, and keep a record of how often you urinate and roughly how much. That will help you determine exactly how much fluids you should take in. You can do this on EVERY run.<BR/><BR/>Have a great trip to Italy!!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18177821.post-19415954796149623002008-09-29T01:34:00.000-04:002008-09-29T01:34:00.000-04:00I know that amount of fluid is recommended but I a...I know that amount of fluid is recommended but I already spend enough time in the portajohn. But if you can lose less time due to the bonk than that lost in the john, you'll be way ahead of the game.<BR/><BR/>I think you'll find the Italy runs on a different time frame than our hectic pace in the US. Enjoy and safe travels.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217970340507557462noreply@blogger.com
