Note
(rest day)
Once again absolutely no muscle stiffness from the marathon yesterday, apart from the usual left hamstring. Thought the quads might suffer from the downhill at the end. Like London, I just didn't feel like I could push myself hard enough at the end and couldn't keep my HR up. Need to try and work out why. I'm wondering whether the hamstring is a factor, as it starts to stiffen up around 2 hours and effects my stride pattern.
I also still can't get the fuelling right. I tried a new type of gel and had one at 10 miles and one at 18 miles. Had a sip of water at 13 miles. The gels were very tasty and seemed to go down will but got a stitch on the downhills at the end. Could I have been dehydrated and that lowered my HR?
Lots of things to think about and work on. Starting with the hamstring.
