Hello dear readers!
On May 3, 2015, the Volgograd International Marathon will take place in Volgograd. And I will take part in it for the second year in a row.
Last year I ran 42 km 195 meters for the first time in my life. And this year I decided to repeat the race, improving the result.
A year ago the marathon took me 3 hours and 18 minutes. This is, of course, VERY slow. But for the first marathon, it's okay. This year I intend to run a marathon of 3 hours.
In general, a marathon for many is an unattainable value. However, it is not. If you prepare competently for it, then very many will be able to overcome this distance.
And so I decided that I would write small reports on my training and nutrition in preparation for the marathon. And, I hope you find them useful. And then after the marathon I will write whether I managed to overcome the cherished 42 km in less than 3 hours.
So. At the moment, in March, I ran about 350 km. Of these, most of the slow crossings are with his wife, who is also preparing for the marathon. And only a few tempo crosses, as well as 3-4 trainings at the stadium.
Therefore, I am approaching the final stage of preparation with a little baggage. Tomorrow, Sunday, April 5, I intend to run 30 km at the speed with which I want to overcome a marathon. This thirty is very important. And you need to run it about a month before the marathon. Last weekend I already ran 30 km, but with my wife at her speed. Therefore, now I need to overcome the same distance with my own speed.
Plus, I'm starting to eat proper nutrition before the marathon. It is quite different from a diet for weight loss.
Its essence lies in the fact that a large supply of glycogen appears in the body. Therefore, it is necessary to consume a large amount of carbohydrates. In addition, protein is needed to repair muscle and promote fat breakdown during running.
In general, I will periodically write reports about everything related to the preparation for my second marathon. This also applies to training. And food, and recreation systems.
Therefore, stay tuned to the blog. If you have any questions, or vice versa, you can give recommendations, then write in the comments. I will be very glad.
