Avoid Hitting The Wall

Avoid Hitting The Wall
I've heard of Hitting the Wall (now more commonly known as Bonking) so many times it has become cliche. You run until your body just gives out, anecdotally in mile 25 of a marathon, just when you are about to make the final push. Or sometimes right at mile 26 when you can see the finish line. We have seen the videos of just such a tragedy- Especially Julie Moss's tragic finish at IronMan 1982. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRB1p89k7_I

I couldn't believe that I hit it so hard when I did. Now I know why and how to avoid it next year.
