Today was my long run. 11 miles running, followed by 2 miles cooldown. I kept my heart rate under 70% of heart rate reserve for the first 7 miles, then let it creep up to under 75% for the last four.
The run went well. The weather was lovely - warm and sunny, and not much of a breeze. My legs were a little sore and heavy, since I taught step yesterday, but nothing serious. Once I warmed up, they felt better.
I tried the Jelly Belly Sport Beans for the first time on my run today. Took a handful after 5 miles, another bunch after 6, and the final bunch after 7 miles. They tasted fine, didn't bother my stomach, and were easy to chew. So they are definitely an option for fueling on long runs for me.

Man, can I eat those WITOUT running? You put me to shame, lady. ;)
I find it very nice that you are giving these lessons, it's always nice to meet new people and also to have something useful to do. I watch your running ! at least on your blog. Sigh, how can you run that much ? I am already tired going from my door to the letterbox lol !
How often do you do the long runs? I run 4 miles a day about 4-5 days a week. That's pretty much all I have time (and endurance) for. Also, how long did it take you to work up to 11 miles? I haven't even tried to go over 5 yet, I admit I'm a little intimidated.
