I did it for a 5k a couple times. The key is, running to the race slow! Have a great week Kelly! simplyjuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177566128990752066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009332057926822148.post-9721064077926801162016-04-10T20:41:52.518-07:002016-04-10T20:41:52.518-07:00Hey Julie!

I did get a sideache but I think it is because I didn't carry water but drank too much on a break at my house to check on my daughter going to school. :-) So, I am not sure yet if the beet juice was the trick or not. I am really happy with the training so far. I am definitely considering the Chocolatathon on the 7th, but I would run to the race and then run the 10k, so I am not sure if I would get the PR I would like. :-) I will keep you posted and look for you if I am going!Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009332057926822148.post-8696836678673994782016-04-10T20:41:44.769-07:002016-04-10T20:41:44.769-07:00Hey Julie!

I'm going to be running the 10k Chocolatathon for Uberthons on May 16th and the Spring Half on May 28th. Will you be at either of those???simplyjuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177566128990752066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009332057926822148.post-34043953543820992262016-04-07T16:00:09.934-07:002016-04-07T16:00:09.934-07:00I forgot to mention, I have a friend who has found...I forgot to mention, I have a friend who has found major success with the Carbo pro and does not have stomach problems anymore! She used to throw up every marathon and just went from a 3:34 to a 3:21 to a 3:07. She is unstoppable. :-) Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009332057926822148.post-66116059058244086502016-04-07T15:58:45.357-07:002016-04-07T15:58:45.357-07:00Hi Julie!

I am still trying to figure out nutrition. I really think this is the key piece in a successful marathon and the true difference between a half and a full. I have experimented with a few things, but right now I have been using Generation Ucan, but still taking Clif shots and blocks on top of it. I have found I really like Nuun for my electrolytes but I can also tolerate Gatorade. At the Phoenix Marathon I took Gatorade every station because it was hot, but then I ended up needing to go to the bathroom which I had never done in a marathon. It cost me a few minutes, but I was in a lot of pain before, so I think it helped in the end. I think the marathon is trial and error for each person and one big experiment of one. :-) I love hearing what works for others and trying new things. My new thing is Beet Juice. I am trying it today and we will see how my 14 miler goes tomorrow! You are doing awesome Julie! What is your next Uberthons race?Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.com
