long/steep/ runable hills long 6:00:00 [3] 28.0 mi (12:51 / mi) +4024ft 11:19 / mi
Humid, about 80 degree weather with partly sunny conditions. was running on access dirt roads in a state forrest park. Was glad to accomplish your desired elevation gain at the end.
I trainned exclusively with solid food this time with NO GUs. Salt potatoes, Nuttela sandwiches and gluten free spice cakes. consumed water and SUCCEED! as well.
by 5 hours my hip flexors were toast. Even the down hills felt like work! I am thinking I need to really focus on hip flexor maintenance (stretches, foam roller, and chiropratic care).
