I
run to challenge myself rather than for charity or for

In addition, although individual differences in race day diet did not strongly influence the
marathon performances of recreational athletes, the amount of carbohydrate ingested during the day before race - day was identified as a significant and independent predictor of

speed workouts during week 1 of school and a few workouts during week 2 as well.With only 7 weeks of training after 2 months off from

speed and distance — the battery will last around five hours, which is more than enough for all but the most
marathon training
runs.
