Unusual training
Probably Gona get attacked for saying this but this sub is a bit amusing. I get value out of comparing some data points but seeing how everyone seems so serious is bizzare to me lol people are like 16 weeks training, 90g carbs an hour, taper weeks, I miss one day how can I make up!! I’m sitting here like what? lol I didn’t even know what taper meant till yesterday. I’m running my first marathon in Japan and my training consist of staying in the dumb green rectangle from my garmin for the day while running. Nutrition? Dorayaki and a pocari plus a way too much protein. Sleep? 6-7 hours is all my body lets me get. lol I only decided to run a marathon because one day I said let’s see how far I can run and I ran out of road at 15 miles from downtown to the beach. Then I decided to combine some running routes I ran out of road at 22 miles…. So I said fuck it let’s run a marathon and Kobe will be my first on Nov 15. I arrive the 12 diet is Gona be family mart and whatever bakery looks good that day on trains. Then see if i can do 26.2 miles in under 4 hours… haha oh and to add I do strength training 4 days a week! Leg day is worse than 22 miles of running lol
