But of COURSE that's your favorite flavor. Of course. Actually, that sounds really good. I need to find some.<br /><br />I think I'm too scared NOT to follow the plan. I'm not experienced enough to know when missing a run or changing a workout slightly won't make a difference, so I'm stuck with what I've been told. Also, I really hate not following directions. It's the overachiever in me.Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-85040647939457658652013-04-06T19:29:48.457-08:002013-04-06T19:29:48.457-08:00Ahaha, if this girl (me) is capable of running a m...Ahaha, if this girl (me) is capable of running a marathon (although I guess that's very much TBD), you can absolutely do it.

I think it's kind of crazy what the body is capable of and how your mentality changes as a result. Three years ago, I couldn't run more than 3 miles and I had to take countless breaks. Now, I can run 10 miles and mentally and physically get through it. You're rocking that plan, I'm impressed by your dedication!Allee at Griselda Moodhttp://www.griseldamood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-78741467254217271132013-04-01T07:20:01.841-08:002013-04-01T07:20:01.841-08:00You are a ROCKSTAR!!!

Ha. Reading 60 miles on the training plan kind of scared the bajeezers out of me. <br /><br />I love Nuun. I like the grapefruit flavor. I don't usually bring it on my runs though (unless it's mid-summer and I sweat like 10 liters per mile), instead I keep a water bottle with it in the car for afterwards. I stick to water and shotblocs for the run. <br /><br />Long runs when I get bored? I sing to myself. Usually in my head (sometimes out loud..but then I get out of breath...). Sometimes I even add in a little jig (seriously). Sometimes for runs that I know are going to be extra hard, I pack my headphones just in case, but I rarely pull out my music. I like to have it as an option, though, for if I end up really needing a little pick me up/reward. <br /><br />You are doing so well at following the plan!!! I was miserable at it (not sure if you were ever around during those blog posts..it was dreadful...and why I ended up dropping to the half, ha). For the MCM in October, I want to follow it as best as I can, though! <br />Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065119896783396290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-26636324034260175432013-03-31T23:55:10.945-08:002013-03-31T23:55:10.945-08:00Oh no!!!!

Well, I'll still be interested to hear how it went, disappointment and all.<br /><br />I didn't realize there was a chai flavor... that honestly doesn't sound very good but it does seem like it wouldn't be so sweet, which is a plus. I actually wouldn't even bother with Nuun except for the fact that it's always seemed to make any stomach issues go away. It's likely more the electrolytes than some magical Nuun formula, although shotbloks don't always go down smoothly, whereas Nuun hasn't failed me yet (although, admittedly, I've only tried it probably 10-15 times). I think I'll definitely start runs with water from now on, though. I think that as it warms up and I'm sweating even more than I already do, drinking something sweet later on will be fine. Thanks for the advice!Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-23475798898059378522013-03-31T23:50:29.588-08:002013-03-31T23:50:29.588-08:00Ahaha, I think by "diligently" you mean ...Ahaha, I think by "diligently" you mean "obsessively" and yes, it's true; when I have a plan, I really like to stick with it! Last year using Higdon's plan I didn't miss a single run (although that didn't end well - I hurt my foot two weeks before my goal race, the Burlington Marathon). But with the Hanson method I'm being especially careful about following it to a T because it's not your typical plan and I'm interested to see what it's capable of if followed exactly. Of course, going to Norway's going to mess that all up, but I'm going to do the best I can.<br /><br />I'm training for Anchorage's Mayor Marathon on June 22. June is usually a GREAT month here so unless it's raining (which is very possible) it should be a beautiful race! Should probably register for that soon...<br /><br />Not a Nuun fan?!?!?!?!?! The horror! But really, their huge push in the blog world annoyed me to no end, but I really do like their product. I used to have a really sensitive stomach (and still occasionally have issues), and it always seemed to make that go away immediately. I just wish it tasted better.Jeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093299012409826185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-3549493936123094832013-03-31T18:33:01.763-08:002013-03-31T18:33:01.763-08:00Way to go with your weekly and monthly mileage. W...Way to go with your weekly and monthly mileage. What marathon are you training for and when? You are following the Hanson method SO DILIGENTLY! I read that book all the time and need a good fall 26.2 race to start training for! <br /><br />I pretty much ignored Easter and did a bunch of work today. Yikes! I am not really a Nuun fan (gasp!). I totally love getting out there and just running for a long run. Boredom is usually not a problem for me. I was so energized on Saturday by SO MANY people I got to see out and about on a beautiful sunny day :)Amy Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377968154311447911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943826793346495199.post-78408907372803983682013-03-31T18:09:29.562-08:002013-03-31T18:09:29.562-08:00Half-marathon yesterday, kinda disappointing on a ...Half-marathon yesterday, kinda disappointing on a lot of fronts, blog post pending.<br /><br />I, too, was disappointed with the lemon-lime Nuun. I like the Chai somethingorother. Just FYI, though - Nuun is electrolytes, but no carbs. So depending on the conditions/sweat level/other nutrition you're taking, you may be able to stick with water. Your shotbloks have both sugar and electrolytes. Depending on how much sugar you want/need to take in, you may not need additional electrolytes through Nuun. It probably won't hurt, but if it's not super sweaty, and you prefer water, no reason not to stick with water. [This is what I did in the US. I'd take my Sports Beans or Honey Stingers for sugar & 'lytes, and drink water.] Or go with a drink that has both sugar and 'lytes in place of some bloks. Ultimately, though, up to you.<br /><br />I listen to Audiobooks!Holly KNhttp://www.runwithholly.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
