100-5
Into the final week before my BIGGY on Saturday.
NUTRITION
I the past I have struggled with 'GI-issues' and in my 1st 100 miler I basically vomited for the final 30 miles...
I don't think you can ever 'master' your gut as it is ever changing but you can improve your odds. Over the course of this block or training I have upped my general food intake, really focussed on protein for recovery/muscle building and importantly experimented with mid-run nutrition!
Over the last 4 months I have consumed (amongst other things), during runs,: pizza, chips, pork pie, donuts, hot dogs, salted potatoes, millions of Freddo's, Dr Pepper , Marks and Spencer garage espresso, whisky (yes Whisky, thanks ), , Precision Nutrition gels, etc, etc,
Looking forward to having access to my van on the course for a smorgasbord of delights and then the Sherwood Pines Cafe scran post-race!
