Marathon tapering

Recommended Posts

Training? I don't know. For me it was also just a 42km time trial with an 8km whatever after that :-) Too many hills in that last 8. I managed to run fine up to about 60-64km in Comrades so I suppose it comes down to more training and better pacing. That major downhill between Centurion and Midrand probably cost us that last 8km :-)

Did 05h45.

 

Is there anything one can take for legs locking up in the last 10km's?

 

I did the marathon is 04h15. The last 8km however I couldnt run.

You finished just ahead of a friend of mine. Lady with a bright green peak. She went through the 42k mark in 3:56.

 

EDIT: oop sorry... .an hour out. Doubt you would have seen her

Sorry agteros I could not see her because by the time I got to 40km I was already colour blind.
