You didn’t read the whole story, the reason this person didn’t know what they were doing is because they were a uterine-american. That should explain the problems.

First, the guy went out way too fast, even admitting that running 7:30s in the beginning was faster than he wanted. Big mistake. You can’t win the race in the first couple of miles, but you can definitely lose it.

Next big problem that caught my eye was him trying to eat some Gu at mile whatever and not being able to eat it. This needs to be part of your training. Find something you like and bring it with you on your long runs. You’d be surprised how much your taste buds change their minds after a couple hours of running. You aren’t just training your legs for the marathon, you’re training your stomach. Make Joey Chestnut proud.

Let me know if you need any other marathon training tips.

I’ll send it to you when I get home from work.

What kind of trivia is it? I’m pretty good at Pop Culture and Sports triva.

You got that info on the beer mile available again? I’m much to lazy to look back at posts from a couple of days ago.
