I've about two more weeks of extreme training till I start to taper. Today I've got to do about an 18 mile run. Of course I couldn't get up early enough to get that many miles in (I'd have had to wake up before 4 am) – so I'm doing it after work. These are the dog days when you are more anxious about enduring the monotony and pain of the long workouts than the upcoming event. I experienced this a little when training for a marathon – but doing an 18 miler followed by a brick of 7 hours, 5 days later is a whole different level.
Lately I've been able to bounce back from these workouts. I was having some difficulty handling them but after trying out numerous ways to get the proper food and drink fuel – I'm getting better. I'm generally using nutrients found at www.hammernutrition.com. I'm using salt tablets, a drink I take during long work outs called perpeteum and a daily pill supplement. It seems to put some energy back into me and I'm no longer dragging through each day. I'm optimistic going into these last 30 days.
