Went for my last long run (10 miles) today. Made it, but it was just a bad run. I've had bad runs before and I'm not letting it get me down. I toughed it out and I'm darn proud of that.

But....

I'm having a hard time with fuel during long runs. I've been playing around with different things to see what works for me, and I'm just not figuring it out. I feel like the things that I can tolerate, just don't give me what I need. I can't do gels at all. I can tolerate 1 flavor of Gu Chomps before and in the early part of a run, but after that no dice.

Sport Beans are fine, but I didn't feel like they really worked for me. I'm running out of options and I'm tired of feeling so sick for a couple hours after my long run. Anyone else?

This may be a stupid question but does it correspond to your bib #

DH & I have had good success with clifbloc shots every 3-4 miles. I also will carry Gatorade G2 along with water on my Ifit running belt.

For me I don't think it is so much what I have during the run but what I have had before such as grape nuts and/or banana smoothie for breakfast. We typically do our long runs on Fri mornings. I also find lots of carbs the day before helps me get through the long run.

Thanks Joan! I just don't understand how I got placed in Corral D.

I am soooo stressed! I have put too much emphasis on this race. Trying to think happy thoughts.

Can't believe we are only 2 weeks away!
Been dealing with IT band issues, finally got a foam roller, and it must have worked a miracle on me over night. I got an 8.4 mile run in tonight at a 10:44 pace, so I guess that is going to be my longest run and I shall say a major prayer for the last 4.7

Did you and your BF register as a team? I haven't received any e-mails from RunDisney, but it seems like my friend (and team mate) did. So I'm wondering if they only send e-mails to 1/2 of the team...to save on electrons flying through the internet? idk

I mean, I went onto Active.com to look at my registration and it des't even show up on my site - and when I click on "registration details" in registration confirmation e-mail I received from Active.com, it told me I'm not authorized to view the info. What?!

For the money that we are paying, I wish they were a bit more organized...I'm sure I'll have a blast in 2 weeks, but it makes me nervous when I hear other runners receiving e-mails I never received.

No, we're registered as individual...good thought though. And Active does the same thing to me...I never understood that message. I emailed them once to ask them about it and all I got back was a confirmation of my registration,but they never answered,y question as to why I wasn't 'authorized' to view my own registrations....frustrating.

Sometimes I wonder if all the communication problems stem from too many hands in the cookie jar so to speak... I mean there's runDisney, Active and Track Shack that are in on all of this in some form. Who knows...I just hope it gets better and not worse. These races are too fun!

Help! I am looking for the corral placement numbers chart...I know I've seen it before but can't remember where now that I have my bib # and can check placement. Would someone mind directing me to a link for the chart?

Thanks!

I can't believe it's only two weeks away!

DH is running the 5K on Saturday. What time should he aim to be on the bus? Also, will I be able to take a bus over to Epcot a little later to catch him at the finish, or should we all try to take the pre-race bus together?

We're figuring that we'll just hang out after the 5K since the kids are doing the kids races, too.
