Running 20k..?

Ok,

I have increased my run to 13k with no stopping. A friend who has ran 15 marathons told me his first marathn he would run 15-20mins and walk for 2 mins.

Has anyone heard of this sort of routine ?

Secondly, since I will be doing 20k on Sunday, I have been told to replenish everything at the 1 hour point. Should I just bring a bottle of gatotade, or is that not enough ? Do I need sharkies of power gel ?

Thanks.

what's a sharkie?

i think you'll need more than 1 bottle of gatorade. i'd check out running websites (like mags... i think one is http://www.runnersworld.com) and see if they advise anything.

for future marathons, see if you can find online or get training info from the marine corp. marathon that's held in DC every year. my brother did that and they had a training regimine that they had people follow. he did it and it worked great for him.

My dad was into marathons, and a little tip I picked up from him: when you get to the marathon level, if you practiced drinking water, drink water at the actual marathon. Same goes for gatoraide. Don't drink gatorade at the race if you trained on water, because you'll get sick.. Just pick one, whichever works for you, and go with it (whats sharkie?)

Sharkie...

They resemble those chewy fruit snacks we used to eat as kids, except they are filled with electrolytes. They are essentially the same as power gels, just in a chwy form.

Many parents also give sharkies to their children for snacks, because it is very high energy.

Yes....

It is a good way of stamina building. The next step is to reduce the "recovery period" i.e. the walk and increase the run period.... etc
