Hi there!
I would like to run in my first marathon, but the problem is it's less than 2
months away and I haven't really trained for it.
I just started running 5 miles a day but my main exercise prior to this was
playing 3-4 hours of basketball once a week. The farthest I've ever run was 14
miles non-stop, but I became totally exhausted by the 11th mile.
So what must I do to make sure I can finish my first marathon? Diet? I weigh
225lbs which is 50lbs overweight for me.
Could someone with marathon experience shed some light on how to train, what to
eat, what to expect while running such as "the wall" runners hit during 14th
mile or so???? Water vs. Gatorade??? Also, everytime I run I have urge to go
to bathroom (1 & 2), are there pottys along the route?
