Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
18.11	3.00	0.00	0.00	21.11

Ran 21.11 miles at an overall 7:10 pace in 2:31on the Pocatello Marathon course this morning with Barry (on the blog). We started at 4:54 this morning. Barry ran 18 miles and he also ran the Ogden Half Marathon last weekend. He did awesome and had no signs of fatigue. I told him if he keeps getting consistent long runs in he should be able to run the Pocatello marathon for his first Marathon. If he would have been able to run the Ogden Half Marathon this week I believe he could have been under a 1:25. Barry is becoming a great runner.

Me on the other hand had a belly ache through the whole run. I really wanted to do a tempo in the run, but every time I would speed up my belly would kill. I had to drop the pace to keep it comfortable and manageable. I should have stopped and tried to go to the bathroom. Overall I guess a long run is suppose to be slower anyway. I did the last three miles sort of faster with my belly screaming in pain (6:31, 6:49, 6:31). Sometimes your body rejects what you have planned on a run. I've put in a lot of miles and my calves are tight right now. Next few weeks the mileage is going to drop I've decided.

Still can't make up my mind if I want to run the Utah Valley Marathon or not. I don't really feel ready enough as far as speed wise right now.

Hey you excellent run, both you and barry, what a pace fantastic, and trying for a tempo, great last few miles too you doing awesome....

I get that belly thing, it's not nice, seems to get worse when Ive upped my mileage. I did a few of my long runs last year empty, no carb loading night before, and no energy gels, to try to go into fat burn basically to hit the wall in preparation, it was proper tough on my system, now Ive started my marathon 17 week plan this week coming, I am not sure to do it again in training, and try to do my long runs different like you with an effort on the end!

what are your thoughts on running on empty like this??? ta Sam

Kory- with your background, you don't really need much speedwork to run a good marathon given your 100+ mile weeks. If you chose to do the marathon, you'll do great.

Kory, I agree with Jon. Don't worry about your fitness level, I'm sure you have enough dough in the bank. If you think you can have fun with the race do it. If you don't think you'll enjoy it wait for the next one.
