๐Ÿ† Monthly Challenge #8: Fuel Your Run ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
Your challenge this month: pay attention to what you eat before, (during) and after your runs, and share an update once a week for 4 weeks. This is NOT about eating perfectly. It's about being curious and intentional about how nutrition affects your running. โœ… Rules โฌ‡๏ธ 1๏ธโƒฃ After at least one run per week, post an update using this format: [Your Name โ€“ Fuel Log #1], [Your Name โ€“ Fuel Log #2], and so on until you hit 4 comments total. 2๏ธโƒฃ Each update should include what you ate before, during (if anything), and after your run, and how you felt. Be honest and reflect! 3๏ธโƒฃ Everyone who posts all 4 updates will be entered into the monthly spot prize draw. ๐ŸŽ Prize: NeverSecond Fuel Package! TBD on what exactly ๐Ÿค• Injured, sick, or dealing with a niggle? Substitute your run with a walk and still log your fuel! ๐Ÿ‘‰ Drop your first log below once you're ready!

Jo Fuel log #4 Ok, this on may go on the crazy list. I have alot of miles training to get in so once a week, I run to work and back. Work is on top of a large hill. Before - small cup of tea During - Precision electrolyte drink After on arrival - bowl of oats, nuts, seeds, raisins and protein shake. Lunch - pasta, chicken salad. Kept hydrated, small amount of cake 1hr before running home. 6.5 miles each way, 666ft up on the way in, very glad it's downhill on the way home.

@Caroline Claassen I felt good and ready for a chilled evening, it also gives me a space to get work out of my head on the way home.
Saturday vs Sunday race?
In the Nordics itโ€™s very common to race on Saturday. When I first started racing I found this weird, as most international races are on Sunday. BUT SATURDAY MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE: you have Sunday off, and can travel home or rest your legs, and be back to work/school and training on Monday Which one do you prefer, and why?

Jo - Long run #3. Blimey, today's 20.5 miles was tough. The temperature was a little low and my breathing ( mild asthma) didn't like it. I was determined to get round this undulating route I had set myself but it did involve about 25% walking. I fuelled right but should have rested more yesterday.

Jo - Long run #4. 22 miles today, went alot better than last week as I rested more beforehand. Starting to get more used to these longs runs and not worrying so much as to whether I can get round.
๐Ÿ† Monthly Challenge #5: Time on Feet โฑ๏ธ
WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED MARCH 02! Your challenge this month: set a total running time-on-feet goal for February and work toward it week by week. This is about steady effort, not pace or distance. Time on feet is one of the most reliable ways to build fitness and endurance. โœ… Rules 1๏ธโƒฃ Post one comment to set your goal (total time-on-feet running in February, walking if injured) using this format: [Your Name โ€“ Goal] | ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ: Caroline โ€“ 12 hours 2๏ธโƒฃ Post weekly updates as new comments in this same thread, using this format: [Your Name โ€“ Update 1] [Your Name โ€“ Update 2] [Your Name โ€“ Update 3], and so on. You should have at least 4 by the end. 3๏ธโƒฃ Each update should include your cumulative running time so far. 4๏ธโƒฃ Everyone who completes their weekly updates will be entered into the monthly spot prize draw. Whether you achieve your goal or not. It's about showing up. ๐ŸŽ Prize: a pair of NEW running shoes! ๐Ÿค• Injured, sick, or dealing with a niggle? Mention this in your [Name - Goal] comment and walk instead. Donโ€™t push yourself into injury just to hit a number. A pinned comment below shows an example of how to post your goal and weekly updates. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Drop your goal in the comments and check in weekly as you build through February ๐Ÿ’™

@Caroline Claassen so far, I have 17 hrs with 3 scheduled runs left, not sure if I will quite make the 21 hours.

Update 3 (19.44/21) Nearly got there. Long runs were hard this month, not helped by wet slippery conditions under foot but I'm happy with my progress. As a newbie to the group, I'm actually on a training plan for a 100k trail run spread over 2 days in July ๐Ÿ˜Š

I love being outdoors. Trail running is my escapism from day to day life. I like to run at least 2 Ultras a year.
