Had a good steady run yesterday for about 15 + KM in preparation for the R & L half marathon next Sunday on 18.12.2011.
Got some tips from the running veterans Amit Ojha, Venkat & Param. These guys have not only multiple HM, FM but a few Ultras as well.
1. Keep a steady pace through out the run. managing and mastering Reverse splits is a tough job and may not consider variables like weather, temperature trail.
2. Eat. Oranges, biscuits, sandwiches during the run for your energy replenishment.
3. Bombay marathon (2012) is tough and I must have minimum 35 K non stop under my belt before even trying the full.
4. Carrying your own water is a must ! as the water stations can run out of water nearing the ned, specially if you are a slow runner.
5. Beware of DOMS - Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness syndrome which can appear after 2-3 days.
6. Run the marathon with only one target. To Finish safe, healthy.
