I usually take my Nathan speed 4 belt with me instead of my handheld. I put more thought into what I wear b/c it has to be comfortable over a long period of time. And, I also plan out where I'll run rather than just wing it like I do for my short runs.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-37964649222716086962010-08-09T11:41:32.017-05:002010-08-09T11:41:32.017-05:00someone has to say it, your just a freaksomeone has to say it, your just a freakBig Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-48476734877406057912010-08-08T23:18:04.950-05:002010-08-08T23:18:04.950-05:00Long runs always require a little extra preparatio...Long runs always require a little extra preparation.

I either run a 2 mile loop around my neighborhood multiple times or head out to the Texas Motor Speedway - it's a 5 mile loop around the outside of the track. Always convenient for long rides followed by long runs. It just makes it easy for keeping water bottles handy and if anything else goes wrong. Keep up the great work!Shannon (IronTexasMommy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12231032247567709805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-65551094872943452432010-08-08T20:33:33.787-05:002010-08-08T20:33:33.787-05:00I hope your knee pulls up fine.

I am sorry to hear about your knee...glad...Hi Jeff,<br />I am sorry to hear about your knee...glad it seems like it is okay:) Wow, you have this whole long run thing all figured out! I do agree, that it is so much easier just to head out the door for a short run. The long run days need more attention. I went out today on a longer run too. I took my hydration belt and fuel with but needed to stop at home after mile nine for more water and a quick shower:) I know that sounds stupid but I was dripping and my shirt was rubbing against me where my fuel belt was and my skin was starting to get raw. Refuel, dry clothes and a shower....Just seven minutes later I was out hitting the pavement again:)<br /><br />Nice work on all of your training Jeff! You are so dedicated to the sport...one of the things that I admire about you!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016242849142019105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-52736108398077586082010-08-08T15:12:52.728-05:002010-08-08T15:12:52.728-05:00I feel like I'm getting ready for a race when ...I feel like I'm getting ready for a race when I do my long run prep, which starts the night before. Sunscreen, gu, nuun, waterbottles, glide, the right outfit, even my toothbrush, go in the downstairs bathroom so I don't wake the family up when I head out. We plan a route that has a bathroom/place to buy water if needed. But without a plan, the run would suck. <br /><br />hope your knee is okay!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144512028031455208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-73502817460262038882010-08-08T14:42:49.847-05:002010-08-08T14:42:49.847-05:00Man, you have your workout down to a science!!! HA...Man, you have your workout down to a science!!! HAHA!<br /><br />My long runs, take my fuel belt with 2 bottles, run on our towpath where they have rest stops (potties and fountains) every 3-5 miles. Stop when I have to and go when I don't. <br /><br />Pack a few gels in my pouch too. Nothing too crazy, still easier to do a long run than a long bike. Long bike takes a long time to prepare :)<br /><br />Bought H and I the bontragger bottle cage with the screw in CO2 holders I think you have. Haven't mounted it yet but I am hoping this frees up some space!!! They were on deep discount sales.<br /><br />Careful with the body man, you are tackling an aggressive program!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-8323785581564281812010-08-08T13:54:59.384-05:002010-08-08T13:54:59.384-05:00Aaww, thx for the good vibes!

So happy that you were able to get your long run in. You are right about the long run giving you a big mental boost. I really don't have any different ritual on long run day. Pretty much the same as short run days. Easy for me since home is usually never far away.KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-24381061661774388362010-08-08T13:40:33.233-05:002010-08-08T13:40:33.233-05:00I hope the knee is nothing serious and heals quick...I hope the knee is nothing serious and heals quickly!<br /><br />I love the video!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-39373595065506568052010-08-08T13:22:44.744-05:002010-08-08T13:22:44.744-05:00At my age a long run is 10 miles.

We do have KCs Flatwoods, but I have to drive 10 miles to get there. Arnie does it, me... not so much.<br /><br />Take time off your knee and add the mileage in little increments when you get going again.<br /><br />You can't make the finish line if you don't make it to the starting line... and you don't know it yet, but you have all you need in the running dept to make the finish line.ONEHOURIRONMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618244547263041741noreply@blogger.com
