failure sunday running

I have been shocked completely since I knew that should had to run more faster than these results!!! so sad...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My running friend Gareth gave me a good advice about relationship between energy gel and burning fat. I charged an energy gel before start, and then he said I shouldn't had any gels before start since body could consume gel then not to burn off body's fat. But if I start running without gel, body could burn body's fat and should charge an energy gel every 5km, it's sort of effective running. Oh, Marathonners should carry eight gels for a Marathon?

Well, I should not eat before running and should not charge an energy gel, then should not have a banana? I should had to ask him what should I eat before running? No meal is better???

No many companios in Yoyogi Park today, so looked like empty even though there were a lot of strangers. We were Gareth, Arnald from Singapole and I, only three. After starting, they had gone quickly, so just followed my watch's number not to get faster either slower. I could manage 33K without walking. I've passed Rebecca at last lap, we ran together just about 1km. We had nice running even short distance. It seemed like Gareth and Arnald have already gone when I finished, time was noon.

Took a nap for three hours, so I feel good now, but I can sleep more.

Sorry, I don't understand. What is the failure? You completed the distance in a good time. You do not have to run long runs any faster than that. You did good! Otsukaresamadeshita.

As for the gel. Your schedule tells you "Run in the morning before eating, but have some gel with you in case you feel terrible. Target pace = 5:30 ~ 6:00/km"
It says "run before eating...have a gel with you in case you feel terrible". Not "have a gel before running." The reason for this instruction is what Gareth explained to you. The long slow run helps train your body to burn fat. That is why I gave you those instructions. Normal long runs are to be done early and without food, only water. For the long race-pace runs (like last week), yes, you practice taking gels. Please check with me if you don't understand, otherwise please try to follow the instructions. But don't worry about it, there is no great harm done.

I didn't check your instraction in the morning by Keitai. So, couldn't follow the plan, I meant it was failure.

zihuatanejo is a small resort place on the Pacific Coast in Mexico, it's my favorite place. Now I'm looking for a trail race in this summer, hopefuly run in a trail race and will prepare for the last Tokyo Int'l Women's Marathon to finish as my best on Nov 16.
