MyWhoosh - Anaerobic Capacity into Sweetspot #3

Experimental semi-racing training run. Used today to test my fitness level ahead of the Barcelona Marathon and also experiment with what I ate before the run and what I consumed on the run.

Great clubby race over an undulating course that is much hillier than the official route description states. Felt like mostly hills with a bit of down and flat. The route description also neglects to point out the wind between miles 6 and 8 as you cross the fields with no protection - not a problem on the first lap, but a total beast when you're tired and fighting hills on the second.

Went out for a 2:00-2:02 based on the official description and tried my hardest to keep at this pace. I realised this wasn't going to be possible on the second lap but I tried. Finished pretty knackered with nothing in the tank for my usual final spurt.

I normally only race on a bulletproof coffee for breakfast, but tried bulletproof coffee and 40g or oats w/ raisins and cinnamon. During the run experimented with a Cliff chocolate gel and a Gu tropical caffeine-free gel. None of the food and gels disagreed with me though the "tropical" flavour made for some interesting burps. Not sure the oats breakfast helped either so think I'll ditch this.

Overall a great training semi-racing run. My first 20 mile race and a challenging one. On the plus side, I know sub-2:45 on the flat Barcelona course should be on the cards - get to bank a London 2021 champ entry early (Chester last year will do for 2020 😉).
