... is what I think of constantly while running long distance these days. One step at a time, slightly pushing myself and striving to maintain that consistent pace throughout the run while listening to the body.
My running buddy (Nupur) and I ran non-stop 9 miles on Oracle trail and completed in almost 2 hours (running the first mile at 12min/mile pace). We did take three quick waterstop breaks on the way to stretch and grab some gatorade. It was a hot day and the trail (mostly concrete) is not shaded, but the flat course and the cool breeze made it easier.
The waterstop volunteers were kind enough to make the gatorade concentrated which helped us keep going till the end. There was also a kid playing tabla at one of the waterstops -it was lovely! :) Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who make our runs possible and smooth week-after-week. Hats off to you guys!
Here's where that question comes from, a really touching and inspiring video:
