I don't know if this counts but I had a cranberry orange scone about an hour before my run. It was pretty damn good. I also had some ice coffee...all around goodness.
Workout:
20 miles at 7' 59" pace.
I had hydration/fuel issues during the last...I'll say 4-5 miles. Even though I ran at night, it was still hot and humid. The last 8 miles were done in a downpour. Luckily I had my handy nerdy visor!
During the workout I tried out Hammer Heed (single pack) and a Clif Shot (gel). Next time I'll need a water refill at about the half and probably another gel. I figure during the race I can swap out a bottle at the half mark since I think the run is done in a loop.
Post run:
- 3 slices of sprouted grain bread w/ butter on top and tons of honey
- Carbs + protein
- Butter is good
- Honey = sugars
- Scoop and a half of Clif Shot Electrolyte, 2 raw eggs, water shaken and poured into a cup
- Clif uses a lot of brown rice syrup which is high in Maltodextrin (two glucose molecules combined...supposed to have a higher glycemic index than glucose/dextrose by itself)
- Eggs are usually the standard method of measuring how easily digestible a protein is
- Rice and beef liver
- Starch = carbs
- Beef liver has a lot of goodies and it taste pretty good!
I was going to eat some sweet potatoes but was too damn full after this. Fell asleep on the couch waiting to recover to make some chili. That will be my project for tonight.
Overall I feel fine considering this was my longest run. My second digit toe nail (foot) is sore, I think I might lose it. I've lost maybe a quarter of it before...everyone told me I'd lose the whole thing, but they lied to me.
Time for work. Oh, I'm writing this in the morning because I was too damn tired last night.
