After reading a few articles, I'm not sure how I feel.
On the one hand, it was good to find out that the best way to train is just to go out there and stay on your feet for a few longer sessions so that your body (feet) gets used to the distance (and the length of time)! But then, according to the schedule, I should have done that three to four weeks ago, working in a 4 hour run/walk followed by another 5 hour run/walk! I have the run two weeks from this Saturday, meaning I'm quite behind!
As for nutrition, that was also interesting. One suggestion was something I experienced when I ran for fun the distance of 73km. Before that run, I never thought about eating or drinking anything with caffeine for the last 20 kilometers. But that's what several articles suggested. And it really did help. At those last few stations, they were serving coca cola! And I drank several cups of it! It was immensely refreshing and helpful!
So, I hope to work in one longer session this week...
If you read this and think of it, please be praying for me on 12/10!
Seek Him First!
