Folks,
I'm considering doing a run/walk for the St Louis marathon on April 9.
I have a question about strategy, but here is my recent
accomplishments:
-- walked the LA marathon on March 19 (21 min/mile pace LOL)
-- ran 11 miles last week (10 min pace)
-- ran a 1/2 marathon a year ago
Trying to run the entire StL marathon is crazy: I just don't have the
training. My feet were quite sore at mile 20+ of the LA walk, but all
was well in a couple of days.
I'm trying to decide how to attempt the StL Marathon. For example:
-- run 1st 1/2 and then walk the rest?
-- run 2 miles then walk one? (a la Fartlek)
Time is not a problem, though they close the course after 7 hours. My
main concern is getting more experience with full distance and
_avoiding_ injury!!!!
any ideas?
ADthanksVANCE
Mike
