Ive got to say: Wow! Thats pretty impressive.<BR/><BR/>I've been an occasional distance runner and I thought Id share some my experiences. 2 years ago I was in a similar situation. I started out with the goal of running the Baltimore marathon after never having run more than 3 miles or so. I did spend 3.5 months building up to the marathon and learned a lot doing it. <BR/><BR/>Your goal of getting ready for the marathon in 4 weeks is way more impressive, but I definitely believe its possible. I would check out sites like www.halhigdon.com to see what the last 4 weeks of a standard marathon training schedule would look like and then modifying from there. If you did a 15mile run next weekend, 20 miles the week after and then tapered back to 10miles on the 3rd week, that might be ideal. Then throw in some interval / sprint runs and 2-3 mile runs during the week. Practicing the intervals will help keep your heartrate down when you are running slower.<BR/>The biggest things for the marathon are learning to stay hydrated, fueled and teaching your body to use all of the metabolic pathways for energy. They say your muscle glycogen runs out somewhere around 2000 calories or 20 miles for an average person. You will need more energy than that to make it 26.2!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
