20 mile trail run in prep for my marathon. It was pretty rough and I was disappointed with my pace.
The trails were a total sloppy brutal mudhole for about 50% of it. I was
muddy from my knees down, had water in my shoes and got a shoe
sucked off at one point. I ran 19.6 miles with 1900 feet elevation
change. It was about 3:45 total time. My pace was 11:45 with
everything and 10:45 if I remove the stopped time I spent staring at
mudholes and looking for trails markers. I'm glad it had some good
elevation changes, it's what my daily runs are lacking the most
The last 4 miles sucked a bunch with blisters
and bonkage. I eat 100cals of energy blocks every 5 miles but I should probably up that. Running on the trails were nice and soft for my legs but me knee is still kinda sore. I gotta stretch out my hamstrings (when they get tight it bothers my knees).
