Episode 7. More notes to myself, this time for the taper, the bit I always get wrong.

Taper means less, not different. And the fuel plan for Florence is now locked in.

Which rule do you break?

We hate gels. Sticky fingers, sickly sweet, and you need three of them to get anywhere.

So we made one that does the job on its own. Extra Life: 50g carbs, 100mg caffeine and 150mg sodium in one 70g sachet. Tart cherry. For the bad patch.

Landing early November. Link in bio to be first to know.

Struggled to get out the door today. Some days are like that.
13K easy, week 13 of 18.
Sometimes you just need to stop what you're doing and go and run.

Week 13 of 18. 30.5km race practice: before, during and after.

2 x 8km at marathon pace with 5km easy around them. Watch was cooked the whole way, so it was all on feel. Harder than most sessions lately, but it's done.

Fuelled on our energy pastilles. Ran out of water near the end. Lesson noted for Florence.

Sub-3 in Florence, 29 November.

Under an hour, leave the fuel at home. You don't need it yet.

Sessions under 60 minutes need no carbohydrate intake, and knowing when to skip fuel is part of fuelling well.

Stretch the session to 90 to 150 minutes and the job changes: 45 to 60 grams of carbs per hour. That's the window where the Endurance Fuel System in Tart Cherry earns its place.

Fuelling is something you keep doing, hour by hour, from early in the session right through to the last stretch.

The payoff is quiet. A back half that holds steady, because the fuel went in before you felt you needed it.

Episode 6. Notes to myself, six weeks out. Same products, same timings, same amounts on every long run. If I turn up on a Sunday and everything feels hard, the plan isn't working. Sub-3 in Florence on 29 November, fuelled only on what we make. New episode every Sunday. Comment "guide" for the free fuel guides.
