Hi, I'm very new around here - probably a couple of minutes - but have come here for some advice.
At the moment, I'm in training for the Amsterdam Marathon in October. Last Sunday I had a 14-mile run. It was my longest run up to that point and it was at the pace I wanted and went quite well. In fact I felt I had two or three miles left in my legs when I finished.
This weekend's long run had to be postponed one day due to work commitments and was a 15 miler. However as I was going round, I could feel myself slowing losing energy and having to ration my lucozade sport because otherwise I knew I would run out. The pace was about the same as last week's but on 12 miles, I just hit the wall. It was just after a very small climb when it happened, but it didn't surprise me it happened. The final three miles were done with a combination of two brief stops and three maybe four short periods of walking.
Has anyone any advice, what I can do, to try and avoid a repeat of this?
