Did my longest run ever, 15 miles in 2:35 on a hot sunny day in San Diego. Two hours prior to the run I ate a bowl of pasta, bowl of oatmeal and two slices of bread. Ran at comfort pace with the aim of running 2hrs 30 mins, did not focus on pace or distance. The route I took was devoid of steep hills but there are 2% to 3% gradient occasionally so makes it challenging. For the first time when i ran past 12 miles I did not cramp up and the bottle of water was good enough.
What also helped was to run the last mile at slow 12mins pace and walked after for 5 mins. Also after the run I did some on spot run to cool down and lied down on the bed with feet up for 15 mins and drank a bottle of vitamin water. This all meant that an hour later I was back to normal :)
This also marks the end of June and I ran 100+ mile 128 miles to be exact with all weeks running approx 25 miles or so. This was a good month and my focus on exercising my core muscles and legs has been helped in the 15 miles run so clearly i need to work hard on core and leg strengthening.
Now onto 160 lbs wt and target a 3hr run in July.
