three important lessons from today’s race: 1. look up the altitude map before. it had very intense ups and downs 80% of it. i was not prepared for that and didnt have a strategy 2. don’t run with hoodie. gave a hug to a coach friend on the finish line and she told me this before saying congratulations lol 3. be mindful of the consequences that coffee has in my running practice. i drank two in the morning today before the race and it could be that it raises my heart rate more than what’s helpful. how do you regulate this? what’s your experience around it? overall felt very solid. no pain in my body which is great. felt a bit hard to breathe consistently in a controlled rhythm, probably because im not used to run for long times at this pace (averaged 4:41 for a total time of 22:57) happy and proud overall. looking forward to the next one

congrats! coffee is dehydrating. it’s the opposite of what you would want. I didn’t believe in the power of hydrating when running until one day I experienced. keep sipping water throughout, it helps a lot. in my first half marathon race I did not see the altitude as well, struggled like crazy, my knees almost gave up

I will caveat by saying I don’t run much these days. Mostly weights and some cycling. I used to run a lot a few years back. Not a specific routine. Mostly prepping for races following some guide online. I used to think hydration slows me down as it makes me feel full of water. But that isn’t true. Keep sipping water regularly - not gulping a bottle - your body can keep going for much longer. For short races it didn’t matter, but for longer races this mattered a lot for me.
