Red Cayon Run with CRUD. Got some good tip reminders from Coach Paul. By 2.5 hours I began to slow way down. trying to keep the pace, my HR monitor read in the 150s. I drank enough fluids, took in E-caps, but fell short on the calories. I went out with 9 power gels and came back with three. So I was short 300 cal. This could be an indicator of my energy level dropping. Furthermore, the last 2 weeks I have been running between 1.5 -2 hours runs a day before my scheduled long run. This also could have contributed to being fatigue. So, I will cut down on my training a day before a long run and do a better job with taking enough calories during my long run.
