[quote=Anonymous]Like a lot of PPs, I've done a couple of marathons, but both times followed a program that gradually had me adding miles over several months. Also the program that I followed is the "run-walk" program designed by Jeff Galloway. I really, really, REALLY recommend this program. It seems odd, but alternating between running and walking throughout your training runs and the race yourself helps you avoid energies and hitting the wall. Both times I did the marathon, I had a pace of 11:15 per mile. Certainly not a speed demon, but the point is I had my watch on, and I ran/walked mile 1 at 11:15, and I ran mile 26 at 11:15. At the start of the race, all these people are shooting up ahead of me down the road. By mile 20, I'm chugging along while people all around me are clearly hurting and staggering to keep moving. Hooray for run/walk method![/quote]
