how i agree.Originally posted by kops21:There is no hard and fast rule to run 42km during training.
Different school of thoughts are different in their prespective. It is no wrong or right answer.
For majority practise, u only need to covered at least a few 30-35km during training will be sufficient to push you that extra km to complete the Marathon.
You can definitely do less than recommend(highly not advise) and still complete the marathon. The drawback is that do you want to finish the event running or walking. The after effect(injury) or recovery time will be longer or nasty if you do not have the properly mileage behind your training.
i am still suffering from the after effect of being insufficiently prepared for the AHM. knees are still feeling weird... -
to run a long distance, may it be 21 or even 10km start when you go for your training runs. Not at the starting line of the race.Originally posted by wuming78:how i agree.

insufficient training will cause damage to your body. How bad the damage will depend on how insufficient is the training and how hard you push yourself in the race.
rest and continue to run(slowly) or do cross training to get ur legs back in "shape" and move on. -
txs, where do u normally do long distance run? I am now doing in the stadium with 16km so far and able to recover next day without much pain. The thing is that's 40 laps on 1st lane! 42km means 105 laps! Can't imagine...Originally posted by kops21:There is no hard and fast rule to run 42km during training.

My LSD is from Kallang(PA) via Esplande to Padang and back 10km. Can extend to Marina South or to Zouk area depend on the requirement.Originally posted by trueno86:txs, where do u normally do long distance run?

Do LSD at Stadium is boring to say the very least. I only use the stadium for speed/tempo/farlek workouts etc. LSD will not be in stadium. -
wow... you do 16km in the stadium?Originally posted by trueno86:txs, where do u normally do long distance run? I am now doing in the stadium with 16km so far and able to recover next day without much pain. The thing is that's 40 laps on 1st lane! 42km means 105 laps! Can't imagine...
buay sian meh?
i think running on the road is much better if you're going for long distance.. at least can enjoy the sceneries and babes (if any) along the way, to boost your morale. -
I totally agree...Originally posted by k4korny:wow... you do 16km in the stadium?

I got used to it because I always do my 2.4 in a stadium. After ROD then started long distance running, also I am too lazy to plot the roads for accurate distance. Morale wise, I simply enjoy running especially timing is no longer important; just want to finish 42k without walking. Btw, who said there is no "scenery" in a stadium?

in stadium there are beautiful ladies too...likewise also lots of auntie and out-of-shape ppl occupying the lane....as usual the first lane....
I prefer to run on the pathment where there are no/less traffic. You get to see better shape(FIT) ger...
If you attend Triathlon, the ladies.....damn morale booster...
