I'm going to train for walking a marathon

Posted by Deneb on November 11, 2008, at 0:44:51

My pdoc seems to think a marathon is too big of a goal, but I think I can do it. I'm going to sign up for either the half marathon or the full marathon, depending on how far I can walk.

I'm going to test my limits on Weds.

I've read up on distance walking and I know what to watch out for, blisters etc. Also I read you have to drink Gatorade after about 20 miles or something. I think I'll drink some after a couple hours, I don't want to find out what happens if I don't drink it in time. I sweat a lot.

I need to buy some synthetic material underwear. LOL Mine were pretty damp the other day after walking 7.5 miles. I have a good shirt and pants to exercise in though, with good wicking properties.

Forgot about the cotton underwear. LOL
