TP
Today's long run is 16 miles but my left knee has been tight since Wednesday's tempo run. Should I modify?
C
Looking at your recent data — your tempo run Wednesday was faster than prescribed (7:44 vs 7:45 target, good) but your HR was elevated at 162, which is higher than usual for that pace. Combined with the knee tightness, I'd recommend shortening today to 12 miles at an easy 9:00/mi pace.

You're in week 11 — protecting the knee now is more important than one long run. I'll adjust next week to compensate.

Good call. I'll do 12. Also, what should I eat before the run? I'm heading out in about 2 hours.
C
For a 12-mile run in 2 hours, go with your usual pre-long-run meal from your nutrition log: oatmeal with banana and peanut butter (~450 cal). Your MyFitnessPal data shows that's what worked best for your 14-miler two weeks ago — no GI issues, steady energy.

Bring a gel for mile 8. I'll have your hydration reminder set for 45 minutes before you head out.
