"Hey, Howdy!" from Texan Tally<p><strong>How much gear would you use while running a marathon (and how much SHOULD you wear)?</strong></p>
<p>Funny how in pictures most folks take of marathons, you just see the runners with a bib over their running clothes, sunglasses, and maybe a water cup…. where’s all this other gear I keep hearing about?</p>

fakToday was always going to be about managing the heat, but with 3 loo stops in the first half I considered DNFing at Tower Bridge. I opted to continue using a run-walk strategy and only ended up with a 13 minute positive split in the end.<br>
<br>
Not my fastest, not my slowest, but my last for a while, and I kept myself out of the medical tent (which was the main goal). <br>
<br>
Definite shades of 2018, but with fewer water stations (and with more mileage between them in the first half) I think some problems could have been avoided. I wait to see what the attrition rate was. The ice was great (where it was available). Straight into the crop top it went.<br>

fakThey might have sakura season in Japan, but here in Blighty we've got bluebell season. I got the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> early and did 4 miles before a pleasingly pallindromic 24:42, making up the easy 8 miles with a trip out to the bluebells. <br>

fakThe final <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tracktuesday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tracktuesday</a> of the training block, featuring 6 reps of 1 mile at half marathon pace/effort. I had to stop to retie my shoelace in a tunnel during the last rep, so that one's not accurate. But all in all, pretty happy with how controlled it felt.<br>

fakA glorious day, so the railway path was filled with runners, walkers, cyclists, dogs and cats for my final big long run. 16 miles at a smidge under 3:30 marathon pace, with an extra mile split into a marginally slower warm up and cool down.<br>
<br>
All good, glad of the water fountain between Warmley & Bitton stations for a refill. Served as a nice simulation, plus a bit of warm weather training. 66.57 miles (107.14km) run in the week, including 6 miles at half marathon pace, 10 miles at 3:19 marathon pace, and 16 miles at 3:29 marathon pace, with 3 runs of at least 12 miles. 3 weeks to go.<br>

It's still 4 weeks out, so I'll still keep the miles up, but spread them out over the week. <br>Pleased I've got this far, I always thought these distances were beyond me. <br><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/longrun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>longrun</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/MarathonTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarathonTraining</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/firstmarathontraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firstmarathontraining</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/runnersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>runnersofmastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/garmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garmin</span></a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/beatyesterday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beatyesterday</span></a></p>
fakIt's officially British Summer Time, so out with the t-shirts and in with the tanks and vests (no seriously, I change my wardrobe over with the seasons because there is not enough space).<br>
<br>
An easy 7 miles around the harbourside, too late (even with the hour change) and much weaving required (plus a couple of emergency stops).<br>
<br>
Completes the week with 55.26 miles (88.94km) run, including 6 miles at half marathon pace, 9 miles at 3:20 marathon pace, and 3 runs of at least 10 miles. 4 weeks to go. <br>

fakLegs still a bit sore from Thursday's squats, and yesterday's marathon pace long run session. But it was a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrunsandwich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parkrunsandwich</a> morning to go and celebrate a couple of friends 400th <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> and get that mileage in. I thought the time would be slower that it was as I was taking it nice and easy, aware I still had 4 and a half miles to run home after some snacking and chat. Some light partial eclipse viewing afterwards. Over 25 miles in about the same number of hours. <br>

fakBack on the railway path for 9 miles at 3:20 marathon pace, and a few either side to warm up and cool down. Started with DOMS and finished with them too, tomorrow might be 'interesting'. <br>

fakQuestioning my life choices again this morning. A road half marathon without the benefit of musical distraction (the country roads remained open to traffic), with a late start due to the massive queues for the too-few loos. Already grumpy because I found a crack in my car's windscreen, went off too fast. Until we hit the back of the 20-mile race (which started a mile and a half away, effectively) I was running mostly on my own. I thought I had died a little towards the end, but there's only really one bad mile split in there. <br>
<br>
Finished 5th lady and 2nd V40 (but got the V40 prize as 1st V40 was second lady). <br>
<br>
Hamstring now very tight, but didn't explode. Definitely not going to try and pick it up and try for a time at London. <br>
<br>
62.52 miles (100.63km) for the week, with 9 at 3:19 marathon pace, and (6+13) at half marathon pace. 5 weeks to go. <br>

fakFirst bike ride of the year (I'm a fair weather cyclist) cycling out to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/parkrun?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#parkrun</a> and back (it turns out that having an appropriate amount of air in both tyres makes it considerably easier to cycle). I had forgotten how cycling breaks me for running, so everything hurt on a deliberately easy-paced run ahead of racing tomorrow. Look at those bars though (let's not mention how the first half is uphill, and the second half is back down again). <br>
