Awesome job, Hal. Glad to hear things went really well. And nice job keeping a 9:30 pace. That's way faster than my target.

The Candy Stand
Located on mile 22
If your energy is flagging during the last part of the ING Hartford Marathon, you’ll find a burst of tasty treats and motivation waiting for you at The Candy Stand. Located on Mile 22, Candy Stand Volunteers will be cheering and handing out dark chocolate, Jolly Ranchers®, "fun-sized" Snickers® bars and a host of mini-sized sugary delights for race participants to munch on as they head toward the finish line. Flat cola and orange soda will also be on tap.
A visit to The Candy Stand will bring smiles to all registered racers who stop for a second and choose a snack (or three!) to help savor the sweet joy of finishing up the ING Hartford Marathon.

Chocolate milk or a soy protein drink of some kind. You want some protein.
I have run three marathons and I have never been able to get any food down immediately after a race. I tried a bagel after my first two, but literally could not swallow anything solid.

Which one? Like you, I've avoided beer during my final two weeks of training -- including at an Oktoberfest party (lots of lime seltzer for me). I have a 4-pack of Guinness Red Harvest in the fridge, but I'm not convinced it will be great, so I'm thinking about a Firestone Walker's Porter.x10000000000000000000000Hal wrote:I hate bananas.

Woo hoo! As of today, I'm here too! Did a quick 2 miles today and felt good. All that's left now is to rest, continue to carb load, and try to relax! Oh, and those 26.2 on Sunday.

There's a fresh pack of OREO's in my kitchen cabinet. I will likely eat the entire pack on Saturday evening. And wash it down with a fantastic chocolate/coffee stout.
pedro wrote:Excellent work, Hal. I'm looking forward to hearing about your race. If you feel a little stir crazy the day before the race, don't hesitate to put the running shoes on and do a very slow two miles. It can really help your state of mind.Hal wrote:What kind of energy bar would you suggest for post-race? I hate bananas.

I ran 10 miles of Yasso's 800s today. I ran them on my treadmill. It starts with a 2 mile warmup and then a half mile at 7:19 per mile. Repeat that 7 additional times. That left me with 2.25 miles of recovery/cool down at the end.
Pain in the ass, but they are a great workout.xxxHunterxxx wrote:I just ran 4 miles. I will likely run 4 more miles tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Now, I'm going to eat several cookies and wash them down with a glass of milk.
We should run a 10K sometime.
Today: 10
Week: 16.19
Total: 680. 48

You're already up to 4 miles. Another 2.1 will be a piece of cake. Go for it!

Hunter, If you can do 4 miles semi-comfortably, I imagine the adrenaline of a race will get you over the top for a 10K. Are you around Thanksgiving? There's a good Turkey Chase on Thanksgiving morning in Bethesda.
