The comments are valid and obvious, so I won't join in, yet I was just talking about you to Mike at HR100 and how I really like you and relate - it's much more about joy...long story, but I am just happy I got to "know" you:)Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-37408669188168376862008-07-08T20:28:00.000+02:002008-07-08T20:28:00.000+02:00Although I think Pam Reed is amazing in a lot of w...Although I think Pam Reed is amazing in a lot of ways, I also think that she struggles with her eating disorder more than she lets on (says that she thinks having been anorexic has benefited her ultra running because it taught her to run on empty, essentially). Keep that in mind when you read it, SLG. Just my two cents.Allison Chapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345469985528298687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-69368074425426744692008-07-08T17:38:00.000+02:002008-07-08T17:38:00.000+02:00In retrospect and reading what all you guys are sa...In retrospect and reading what all you guys are saying, it seems like it was probably a combination of starting too fast and getting hungry and thirsty that really slowed me down at the end. Learning how to get the strength to do 50k's well is a fascinating subject to me. Thanks for all of your advice.<BR/> Heather, I've not heard of Pam Reed's The Extra Mile. I'd love it if you could send it to me!

Sounds like you put your heart into the race and raced hard! <BR/><BR/>Whatever food/liquid calories you fancy, 200-250 kcal/per hour in shorter events (50km and such), more than that in longer events, taken in even, steady, roughly continuous dosages. The experiment of seeing what kinds of calories your body will digest whilst running is almost as challenging as training one's body to run a long ways. (I am so far not an expert at either. :)<BR/><BR/>I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your time in California. Congrats also to SR for his win!<BR/><BR/>MeghanMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328667395623963868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-90326801188975839972008-07-08T12:55:00.000+02:002008-07-08T12:55:00.000+02:00Oh and I came back -- I forget if I asked, have yo...Oh and I came back -- I forget if I asked, have you read Pam Reed's "The Extra Mile" before?

Don't write off a 100-miler just yet!

Part of training for a race is also eating consistently well ALL of the time. Also, I can imagine that breast feeding during an ultra creates a huge energy depletion. You did well, though!Allison Chapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345469985528298687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-80133811033935423132008-07-07T03:48:00.000+02:002008-07-07T03:48:00.000+02:00You may have simply gone out too fast.
