I agree with Rob and Alison: I reckon if you pushed yourself you could make a 1:45.<br /><br />With things like Gatorade, I often think the psychological benefits are equal to the physical ones. It's a bit like my hamstring tape: it does a bit of good, but primarily it gives me a bit of confidence to race, and since running is about 75% mental energy I think it's something worth investing in.<br /><br />xxxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997274473466452389.post-66930068255807500502011-03-30T21:26:42.238+01:002011-03-30T21:26:42.238+01:00I agree with Rob.

I used to suffer from bad headaches post run, and now I get them sometimes, it's njot as often and not as bad, and I am sure it was lack of salt as I think my diet is pretty low in salt. The clif bloks have electrolytes and I think the body does need them.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07364823282004341052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997274473466452389.post-4956582766985650922011-03-28T18:08:49.177+01:002011-03-28T18:08:49.177+01:00Well done!

But I don't like the flavor either - makes me even thirstier. I don't think it's psychological at all. I could tell a huge difference in performance and especially recovery when I started fueling mid-run.Heather Iacobacci-Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049797586960775747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997274473466452389.post-85729410467869080042011-03-28T12:34:27.985+01:002011-03-28T12:34:27.985+01:00Well done thats an awesome run!

...Because I'd say 1:50 looks far more sensible!<br /><br />If you can do 12 in that time and feel strong in the last miles then on race day and with a target pace you should be able to get to (or very very close to at worst) the same time for the 13.1.Running Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438876298746999401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997274473466452389.post-64097321243252785222011-03-28T12:01:45.797+01:002011-03-28T12:01:45.797+01:00Sorry Laura but based on those numbers I don't...Sorry Laura but based on those numbers I don't think it would be wise to look for a sub 2 hour half marathon.Running Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438876298746999401noreply@blogger.com
