Vinnie is very happy to have the amazing, beautiful and talented Serena Scott Thomas on to talk to her about her 50 mile run. She is now officially an ultra-runner!  Serena ran the Avalon 50 on Catalina Island.  Not only did she finish in 11 hours and 40 minutes but she did it for a really good cause. She raised over $5,000 for InSitu Foundation which trains rescue dogs to detect early stage cancer by smell. They also discuss Serena’s movie,  Inherent Vice, which is up for an Independent Spirit Award.  Listen in as Vinnie tries to speak with a British accent…

THE DAY OF THE RACE

  • Serena felt terrified…everyone told her how difficult your first 50 mile race is
  • There was 7,000 feet of climbing
  • The race started 5 am Saturday morning and all was well as the sun came up
  • It started to drizzle but by 20 miles the rain started coming down
  • Serena didn’t have her raincoat and she got wet and cold

DURING THE RACE

  • Mud was clay and incredibly slippery
  • It was so muddy and slippery, couldn’t do downhill
  • It was miserable…besides being cold and wet, her running shoes were not “grippy” enough
  • Mud was very deep and sticking to her shoes

WHAT SHE LEARNED

  • At about 40 miles, Serena had a low moment and stopped at Aid Station because she needed something to eat with fat in it.
  • She had gone through her nuts
  • The only things available were sugary things like jelly beans, M&M’s and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
  • She needed to have more fatty foods with her

DIET THE DAY OF THE RACE

  • Usually Serena doesn’t eat in the morning…just coffee with heavy cream and a handful of nuts
  • The day of the race, she had a hard-boiled egg, 1/2 apple and full-fat yogurt
  • She did some sugar trickle
  • Serena wished she had some nuts, some cheese, some olives and something hot to drink
