Started out OK at 8:50s ish, which was what I was thinking off for Berlin, but died from about 14-15 miles in, and ended up 10mm'ing last couple of miles. Not sure how much of this is down to being on the go for the past 18 hours without much food and then eating a portion of chips on the way to my leg, feeling sick for the run and so not taking on about a 1/3 of my usual liquid and only 1 gel. So now in a bit of a quandary for Berlin. Will rest, taper, and adequate fuel and hydration let me sustain that pace or do I drop back to just beating the 4 hr gremlin??
