[QUOTE="frayluisfan, post: 2579916, member: 32471"] UMB, My wife has been training for half marathons for a year or so now, and what she has read/learned was a big help to me. What Ted Kennedy said is something I have read elsewhere as well from marathoners--start hydrating extra a couple days before, and not just water. Like you, I had been running in the hottest part of the day on purpose for a few weeks. I felt like it helped--I didnt' feel as miserable as usual. :-) Cramping-- from what I've read, that tends to be either a pulled muscle or lack of salt/electrolytes. Did you have any Gatorade during the run? That's all I brought, fluid wise, and it seemed to help. Also, did you give your body some rest before the event? The athletes I've known have talked about training lighter in the week or two before the Big Event. This give the body time to respond to the training it had received during the previous months, and results in increased performance. In my case, I pushed myself pretty hard throughout May and June, but thenI did nothing at all for a week before the Run n Gun. Do you think you might have overtrained? Anyway, good AAR. Made me think about what I need to do differently next time. Mike [/QUOTE]
