Well done on a long run with limited hydration and fuel!

How many 20s are you considering?

Great idea to do a one way run. Very brave of you to tackle those hills (mountains?) late in the run. Nice job! Jeffs last blog post..The Perfect Run

Congratulations on a tremendous long run - 31+k! And I know what you mean about the easter eggs - I ate way too many this weekend and justified it by telling myself that I was saving my boys from all that sugar. Vavas last blog post..12km Run in Ottawa

Ouch … I can’t even imagine running 32km without any fuel and not completely dying! I take it popping into a dairy enroute wasn’t an option either?! I guess if you know you can do 32km like that then you can probably manage a well-fuelled marathon!

I had 3…but they were in my camelbak’s pocket so I left them behind by mistake! The caffeine ones too!

Now see, this is why I wouldn’t be a very effective runner. I’d have stopped at the marina and watched it wake up for the day.

Great run–hot cross buns well-earned!

Hi Andrew, I love the morning shots. I get so jealous coming to your blog as I am not allowed to run any more. BUT I am really into swimming now and learning lots of new stuff. Take care, Andrew Andrews last blog post..Weigh-in 50: Beer Mountain Holiday Results

Congrats! That’s a great long run. Hills are killer, but you sure feel accomplished afterward, don’t you? I think you deserve a relaxing rest of the day.

Wow – that clmb up and over the hill to Titirangi must have been a killer that far into your run! Camelbaks can be a problem. Mine started leaking on me halfway through the Grape Ride cycle race last year and I had to do the same as you. I’m going to buy a fuel belt when I get back to Wellington.

Did you use any gels on your run? I’ve found a few which don’t mess my stomach up and the ones with caffeine in them are like rocket fuel! On a 32km run I’d take one every 45 to 60 minutes.

Great distance run. You should be happy about the pace as well. Looking at your graph, I'd say the hill at the end must have been a killer. Gregs last blog post..Brown Fat For Burning Calories

Yeah I don’t plan on going much further.

I’ll try to do another one or two of this distance over the next few weeks.

I had my camelbak but it started to leak as I left so I ditched it. I ran out of water about 20K in so that was a problem.

Great run. Superb effort getting up so early, and getting up those last hills. I agree - going down steep hills kills my knees and quads too. Andrew(AJH)s last blog post..Happy Easter everyone !!
