They just help keep me from having that "I have no energy left whatsoever feeling." You can try to get a sample pack and see how they work for you. I started with 1 per hour, now I am finding 2 every 40 minutes or hour is good for me. I found out about them from my brother's friend Scott, who did the 50 mile race. Yep, we are only dropping down much later, I think. I'm not sure why that is the case. We also don't seem to always have "cross training" on the schedule, I don't think, but I am starting to follow the FIRST program and cross train 2 days per week.

And thanks for the advice on Chuck, I was impressed with his advice, it makes sense. Tgorourke: If I hadn't just dropped a good chunk on my HR watch, I might reconsider the Garmin... but now I think I just need to figure out something to go along with that! That's weird that you haven't had any drops in your mileage. I've seen lots of programs that encourage that kind of building to help reduce stress on the muscles and joints and promote healing.

I do too, and it fits just fine. It wouldn't tell you calories burned, but it would give you pace and distance, and there is a virtual training partner you could use. You seem to be running really fast I am impressed. It's interesting - they have not had us cut our mileage at all for our runs yet. We just keep building week after week. Very interesting!

Listen to Chuck, he knows his shizz. He took me from zero athletic ability to obsessed triathlete, with no injuries! It was really great to see you this morning, even if it was for a nanosecond!
