Adelaide Marathon Campaign - Week 2 of 16

[glaconman]

Nice work MLCM;

I remember running a difficult 2 hour run a few of weeks before my one-and-only marathon and thinking how inconceivable it was that I would be able to run for twice that length of time, or even longer.

But I think we must mentally and physically calibrate for the challenge placed before us. And the physiological peaks and troughs, that we seem to have little control over, ensure that no two runs are alike.

Personally I wouldn't advocate run/walking unless you're managing an injury or a specific condition. It's not that I feel that strongly about the issue. It just seems like the wrong approach to take when you're trying to build up running stamina.
