How to conquer

Nonstop races

- The marathon

The marathon is the first step on the way to ultras where running abilities and training is not sufficient to conquer the race.
Ingredience Training

The first ingredience is still training. Without training your legs will stiffen with acid before you reach goal.
Here could be added links to good marathon training programs......

Ingredience Energy

Second ingredience is energy. If you don't eat and drink properly before and during the race you will run out of energy. The result is that you will feel lazy, tired and hungry. You want to walk. Maybe you will dehydrate, which could make you faint.

• Advice 1: The main advice concerning energy is to drink at each aid station and eat fruit whenever it is available and you feel there is room for it without getting a heavy belly.
• Advice 2: But it can be even more important to load energy the day before. The goal is to eat and drink as much as possible at the main meal in the evening. It doesn't matter too much what the meal contains. This food will be digested just in time for a morning race the day after.
• Advice 3: Not very important advice: If you like steaks, then eat the last one two days before the race since it take longer time to digest and not digested food is just extra weight.
• Advice 4: Not very important advice: During the race you can load fast energy with energy gels. Suck a little when your legs needs a little boost. It kicks in in a few minutes. You can run with the tube in your hand.

Training methods

Long Slow Distance. Training with your pulse below 180bpm minus your age. With this training your pulse at rest will lower if you combine the training with high mileage. LSD is a way to get a high mileage without getting injured. When the mileage increases then your rest pulse will drop, which again makes it possible for you to run faster than when your rest pulse was higher.
