I signed up for the Standard Chartered half marathon. So far, I
can run abut 12 km very very slowly. How can I run the 21km?
how come this topic is in food?
Anyway, training
schedule can be?
you started off with 10 km
Day 1 <- rest
Day 2 < -
rest
Day 3 < - 10
km, light and easy
Day 4 <-
rest
Day 5 <-
rest
Day 6 <- 12.5 km,
easy run
Day 7 <- rest,
recovery run 2 km light and easy
Day 8 <-
rest
Day 9 <- 15 km, easy
run
Day 10 <- recovery
run 2km light and easy
Day 11 <- carbo load
rest
Day 12 <- carbo
load. rest
Day 13 <-
-actual day ?, eat some banana and milk for
breakfast.
Day 14 <- recovery run 2 km light and easy
Basically the last 5 km is always a struggle there is no need to
train for it. If you cant push yourself, I suggest you walk, leave
the energy to run for the last few km so that you look nice for
phototaking
Recovery run is to expand the blood vessel to flush out
the lactic acid, so that your leg does not ache so
much.
Carbo load is necessary to provide with energy. Can take regular
high carbo food or supplements?
Eat more glucosamine pills daily.
Good luck and see you on that day. I am running 10 km though, 21
km is too slow pace for me and want to have breakfast by 8 30 am.
enjoy!
