What is the best marathon in the world to run?
What marathon has the most fun, interesting, scenic route... I've ran the Toronto marathon a few times and want to run something different and fun.
I'm not a fast runner, so the Boston marathon or any hardcore ones are out of the question.
The best marathon is the run for knowledge....
How to train to run a faster Marathon in the off season?
I am planning on running my second marathon next October. I would like to come in at 7:10/ mile to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I just ran a 9:59/mile at the Mount Dessert Island marathon in Bar Harbor Me. The hills(mountains) were unbelievable!! Those who run it, say the overall incline towers that of Boston and the heartbreak hill. Only 10 people would have times that would have qualified for Boston. I know I need to work on my speed and work in some long runs, but how much and how often? I want to try to save my knees while keeping the endurance and working on the speed at the same time.
Okay you have a whole year ahead of you.
Lets start with the pyramid: 1.Building endurance/strength.
Usually I say run based on time, but if you are training for a marathon, you want base your runs on a weekly mile basis. Starting at fifty-sixty miles a week is okay(below average) but that should be where you start.
Could winters(Nov-Dec) getting a lot of snow. Stick to training just with the bare limits, as in run outside only on good days, get to a gym otherwise. Use this time to work more on your oxygen in-take, and your abs. Remember form is a key essential, for it will effect your stomach.
Next on the pyramid: The Ladder(Jan). Time to really transition your body, prepare it for the training you will have ahead of you. Already gone through tough ab workouts and perfecting the stomach. So now you can do training that involves more of the stomach, like eating and running, running then coming home to a quick meal, also now you should start getting urself use to eating specific meals, water intake, and all those little details that will effect you in the long run. The Ladder time is to focus on you(find out about your body) as to how you should train, eat, stretch, and run, you will know what you will have to do to improve to better times.
Next step: Hell(Feb-May) for the next four months you should go through hills, building your miles up. Doing these miles on hills in higher altitude, that way it will help your lungs(once again oxygen intake) keep it simple with exercise of other parts of the body(as in weights if you do them, ab workouts, swimming). The key here is to never push yourself 100% in anything. Do it at a safe 70-75% ratio.
Next pyramid step: Speed! Rocky Speed!(Jun-July) Miles are up, feeling strong, but are you that fast. Time to find out if all that work has come to do you good. Your body should be well ready for anything u throw at it(BRING IT ON!!!) I know ur probably impatient by now...these timed speed drills start with just doing 100m sprints, 100m cool and easy, and work urself all the way up to one mile. Then just do mile run times. Find out ur weakness, then find out about your race.
Next step: Qualify(Aug) Find out before hand, do a race(doesn't have to be a marathon, training marathon - 18 miles...around there) and work from that. See what your times are, see where you had your problems. Did you push too hard on a hill, you didn't stick with that guy when he pushed and now u r three minutes behind him! Use it to focus as to where u will be in a big race, its always crowded, so try to relax and remember you've done ur work - you are ready.
Final step: Showtime(Sep-Oct) september u should be running three times a day if possible. Run in the morning, in the afternoon, at night. Run a half-hour to an hour each run. If you can't then save them for days off, and work more on your speed combined with your pace. Just how long you can manage this pace. Yeah Boston is famous for the heartbreak hill. You ain't scared, you're gonna show the hill whos boss. Time to start running with some friends and get the bravery in your heart. Whenever ur down in the race rub your heart(where ur wings are) and become the brave runner u always wanted to be. Time to find spots on the boston course where you will pick up - slow down. Obviously run the course to be ready for this.
Then...October....show time.
Can elite marathon runner listen to music when running in Marathons?
Just wondering if anybody know if elite marathon runners can listen to ipods and other music devices when running in big city marathons like London. It is just that you never see anybody do it. I personally can't run without my Ipod.
No, they do not listen to music, now most races do not allow runners to listen to ipods or other electronic devices.
How to train to run a half marathon?
One of my ambitions for 2008 is to run a half marathon. I've always had a hard time running for a long time and long distances, so I want to find out how to train... Is there a book or website that has helped anyone go from a non-runner to a marathon runner?
I am fairly fit- I have no problem swimming for long distances or cycling for long distances. I just have an extremely difficult time running. Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!
Check out Runnersworld.com, they have all sorts of training programs, even for 1/2 marathons. I do about 2 1/2 marathons a year, basically I do 3 runs during the work week, make sure one has hills and one has intervals, then I do a long run on Sundays, anywhere between 10-15 miles, so I'm always in shape to knock out a 1/2 marathon. Believe it or not, it's more mental than physical if you're in shape, which sounds like you are.
Good luck.
How long after first marathon should I wait to do another one?
I just did the half marathon but my boyfriend did the full and I would like to do a full. The thing is I want him to do the full with me but I am wondering how long should we wait for him to be able to do another full? We ran these races yesterday.
You should ask him that. If he is an experienced runner and has done a lot of marathons, he'll be ok in a month or two.
If he's new to long distance races, he should wait two weeks of resting before any kind of running workout again. Then run slow and easy (2-3miles every other day.) The 2nd month he should be ok to start regular running.
The long run is the most important for surviving the distance. You should be doing that now to stay ahead of him. On Sat. each week add one mile to your run. Slowly build up to going far.
