Mileage per week around 70-75. The brand of gels that work best are the ones that you can stomach for a long time. I used to be a GU person but I switched to Powergels because they are not as thick. The thickness of GU makes me want to gag these days, the feeling gets worse the longer I go.<br />Track workouts, hmmm those are given byRick Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19376369.post-4174085502813699842011-03-28T01:03:53.890-07:002011-03-28T01:03:53.890-07:00Trailturtle: funny thing about the weather, it was...Trailturtle: funny thing about the weather, it was worse this week. Awful to the point of being great. Saturday we were at some trails closer to Mt. Tam that were completely flooded, running through ankle deep water.<br /><br />Evan: I will pass it on.<br /><br />Olga: I've been channeling my inner Pacific Northwest runner.

Your story reminds me again of my recent race.How much mileage per week leading to this race? Any particular brand for your gels? Please share your track workouts. Thanks. <br /><br />Good luck on Lake Sonoma!

Hard to keep your footing on the downhills. I'll have a report up for that one I hope by the weekend.
