Yeah...I completed the 20 mile RLRF workout on pace. It was on the TM but I'm hoping I don't get called on it and disqualified :-) This is my third attempt to complete this workout on pace. It's funny because three weeks ago I skipped three weeks out and ran 18.5 @ 8:03 (on the road). I guess I've had a mental block on the 20 miler. I'm still a little concerned because this 20 miler on the TM seemed harder than the 18.5 on the road, even though the 18.5 miler was a lot faster than todays run.

I drank 40 oz of Gatorade and 32 oz of water throughout this run. This seemed to be about right on the fluids. I should probably eat some goo next time on this long a run.

On the roping note, today is an off day for me. Tomorrow will be the Finals where I rope one more steer for the bigger prize money. I've won my entires and expenses back already, now's the time for profit!

Target:
Long Run - 20 Miles @ 8:26

The treadmill would only run for 30 minutes and then stop so I reset it every 3 miles but only took about 10-15 seconds to do that.

Great job! You deserve to score well in the profit 'round' as reward for cranking out 21 on a treadmill! I always start wishing I had a Gu around Mile 15, although I like the idea of burning body fat to keep going! I guess better fueling is one of the things that help us perform at higher levels on race days!

Take that steer down in record time!! :)

Great job! I don't know how you can stay on a treadmill that long. looks like this run went a lot better than your last 20 miler.

Good luck with that steer tomorrow!

Woohoooooo! What a run today! You are in great shape and put your last 20 miler to shame!! Great run day today....you have got to be feeling good about it!!!

I would die if I only had gatorade for 20 miles! Go and get the Gatorade electrolyte beans and some Shot Bloks to help you along the way....I promise, you will be feeling good if you do!

Great job on the long run, glad you got your distance legs back a little.

Good luck today, let us know how it went!
