Maybe you weren't sweaty enough, seclark. Try sweating more next time.

Very Nice Rain Man.
My wife just this past year convinced me to start running and I think I've done a fair job at it. Tomorrow morning I'm in a 10k called the Turkey Trot and I'm hoping to average under 11 minutes a mile. This will be my first bad weather race and I'm unsure how I'm going to dress for it. High of 20 possibly light snow winds 10-20 gusts. I hate running in pants so i'll probably just make sure my tops heavy and light gloves. |

I wanted to do one but man.... 13 miles of running? I just can't imagine doing that. Most I ever ran at once was 3 miles during football off season in high school.

I did my first half this year. I was fine until mile 11 when the leg cramps set in. 50 is quite impressive RainMan.

Don't run in pants if you can avoid it. They'll chafe your legs unless they're really soft. As much as they make you wince for your manliness, running tights are great for cold weather. My race last weekend was in Nevada. Nevada's warm, right? I brought a short sleeve t-shirt and shorts. As it turns out, they got a freak weather system and it rained for three days solid prior to the race. Fortunately, I had a light running jacket by coincidence, so I wore it. The entire race was low 40s in temperature with a steady cold rain. However, around Mile 5 I took the jacket off and carried it. It's amazing how you warm up when you're running. (Admittedly, in part I took the jacket off because it was soaked and just holding cold water on my skin.) So underdress for the starting line. You're better off freezing while you wait rather than carrying a sweatshirt or something for the whole race.

I have done 2 fulls at a 3:32 and a 3:30. The last one was 3 weeks ago. I ran a 1:40 on the front of my last full, was averaging 7:45 still at mile 20 then fell apart at mile 23. My only advice is when you do the full don't set any goals except finishing. It will be much more enjoyable that way. |

Thx guys a couple of very good tips.
It ended up being under 20 with snow and wind gusts 15+ I did end up getting some running tights for my legs..layered my top also I had a throw away sweatshirt for the wait at the start. I had a good run smashing my hopes to stay under 11 minutes a mile and went 8.30 a mile. 800 people ran in it and I seem to do much better the bigger the herd. |

Hey Rainman,
I was wondering do you do anything in particular to try to enhance your overall endurance prior to preparing for these type of events? And do you do anything in particular to slow down the fatigue process? Please get back to me. Thanks. *P.S. I may be able to help you out. I am currently studying an exercise physiology course and have some really valuable information that Im willing to share. |

1. Go run around on weekends to train. I bought a book that recommends three paces for training - intervals, "race day pace", and longer slower runs for endurance. However, I haven't been following it. I plan to do that more in 2014, and am pondering adding a mid-week run as well. 2. I try to eat relatively light the few days before a race, and on race day for some reason I seem to do well if I eat a couple of slices of bread right before the race. 3. I have an energy gel or maybe two during the race. If you have tips or tricks, I'd love to hear them. I want to do better this year since I feel like I've been kind of slow in 2013.
