    I'm glad you've started talking about carb loading. I've never thought enough about it, but now I'll try it at my next race.
    Good luck 👍🏻

    Not sure which Garmin you have Will but on mine you set a time pace target. For me, I press run, press up, select targets, and then there are few options. I set a time and distance. It then shows you through the race how far ahead or behind you are. Just learned about it and will be the first time I use it (if I remember 😅 )

    • @TheWu
      @TheWu  6 месяцев назад +1

      Ah I think that feature is called pace pro. That’s not on mine.

    You will rock it! Since you got the speed and the strength, I’d recommend the Hoka Cielo x1s. Yes yes they are heavier but it’s negligible once you realize they are so unbelievably comfortable for a super shoe. That extra weight then goes out the door . Good luck and you got it!!

    Looks like you've got all the little details right at the end. Don't worry about the shoes. I've a pair of Pro 3s with 400 plus miles in them. I'd be confident of running a marathon in then if I had to.

    I looked into this a while ago with a professional nutritionist. He seemed to say 10g of carbs per kg of body weight was about right, so 700+ for me! But he said more than 2 days out you don’t get any extra benefits as your body can’t store the energy that long

    • @TheWu
      @TheWu  6 месяцев назад

      700 is a lot ! Good luck with that. Yea I think the 3rd day out is not that strict.

    Adios pro 3 gives me and my brother always cramps in calf and hamstring when taking other options no cramps.. I think the adios give us a negative drop when loaded. It doesn't work with our running mechanics.I would try something with higher drop and firmer midsole..

    Interesting about the carb loading numbers - I’ve always just eaten pizza/pasta the 2 days before. Obviously Brighton was going to be some sort of misery regardless but next time I think I’ll look at the numbers… also why is all this expensive running stuff we buy of such poor quality?! Good luck mate. I think this is the one.

    • @TheWu
      @TheWu  6 месяцев назад
