Preparing for that long run:
Be honest, how many of you have thought about entering a marathon, confident in your mind that it doesn’t look that hard? If a 101 year-old plumber can trot around drinking beer and still finish, then what’s stopping you, right?
Cut to two months later. You have your place, you’ve got your new trainers and you’re about to go on your first long-distance run. Off you go…
3 hours later, you stumble home; pale, knackered, nipples bleeding and chafing so bad that you look like you’ve won first place in a John Wayne look-a-like competition. Slumped on your sofa you think to yourself, what went wrong?
A common mistake in training for a long-distance run is starting too strong too soon. Prepare well and you should have no trouble achieving your goals.
