Subject: Re: The Classic Quarter??
im new to this group, and am keen to do the solo version of the
quarter, however not until 2009....cant muster the training this year. I have done marathons, and the winter tough guy, and i think that for this you will need to get your max training run up to about 30 (if solo) - i think the key is more training to spend a silly amount of time on your feet - maybe 8 hours, and then develping coping and eating strategies. I cant see that energy gels and drinks will be too good for you for that duration. I know i would need proper sustinace ala Karnezes Pizza!! There is a good training programme for a 50 miler on runnersworld.com (the american site, much better that the UK one.) maybe worth using. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-244--12520-0,00.html
