Zwift - Jarvis Seaside Sprint in Watopia

90 minutes steady

Bit of head torch practice on the trails

8 x 1200m off 3 min

Easy climb up to Piletta and some strides

Big thanks to Jamie B for accompanying me on the bike for that one, don't think I could have done the session without. Tested Adi sub 2s for the longer effort and I don't think they're marathon shoes (for me anyway, if you're a 55kg Japanese or Kenyan marathoner who loves racing flats then maybe).

Swapped to old faithful Adi Adios after 3rd effort and, whilst 80g heavier per shoe, a much smoother ride. Think I'll go with the fancy Adi Prime Knit version of the Adios for the marathon itself, same as the half the other week. Adi Sub 2s will be for stuff that takes me less than 2 hours, probably just half marathons. 

Tested SiS Beta Fuel today and did a similar job to the Maurten from all accounts. I was faltering a little towards the end but I think that's more down to race legs from the weekend, rather than energy availability. Could be wrong so more testing needed!

1st hour - 500ml Sis Beta Fuel (80g)
Start of efforts - 1 SiS gel (23g)
During efforts 400ml Beta Fuel (66g)
Between 4th & 5th effort - SiS gel (23g)

In total 192g of carbs over the two hours, so plenty and no stomach issues.

Tough session, but in the bank for marathon day. I can hear that taper calling.
