Intro

Chris from That Running Guy shares hydration strategies in his London Marathon training vlog, episode 10. Here’s what to pull so you can run the workout today. Watch the full video for the details.

Key points

• Taper strategy: after a demanding block, Chris drops volume to keep his legs fresh. Two easy 5-mile runs and a minimal final week into race day.
• Pacing focus: long run at about 6:54 min/mi, 4-mile progression at 7:11 min/mi, and a 5-mile “goal-pace” run at 7:10-7:14 min/mi.
• Hydration hack: a single Dyrulite (isotonic) sachet in your water bottle. Tastes good, replaces electrolytes, keeps cramps away.
• Gear: standard cotton socks (no blister issues), a flip-belt for phone and gels, a basic hydration bottle, and shoes with about 200 mi of wear that still feel solid.
• Gel schedule: one at the start, then every 5 miles (about 30-35 min), with a spare tucked away.
• Race-day pacing tip: don’t let starting-line energy pull you into an early sprint. Lock in your practiced pace.

Workout example (Monday-Saturday of taper week)

All paces in minutes per mile. Tweak distances and paces to your training level in the Pacing app.

Closing note

Try the hydration sachet on your next long run. Adjust the taper runs to your schedule and log them in the Pacing app.
