Have you run that sort of distance before?

I don’t really know much about training, I just do what I’m told by my friend Tom. Here’s our training program – hope it helps!

Runs:
Sunday – 15km endurance run to build stamina at a slower pace.
Another day – speed training using interval training of sprints and slow jogs.
Another day – pace training on the treadmill, going at 14km/h for 30 minutes.

Weight training:
Incorporate run specific training to maximize target muscles, as well as overall weight training to maintain strong muscle power.

Stretching:
Last thing at night, full 15 minute stretch program to minimize injury.

Others:
Need to take regular intake of amino acids, such as Amino Value drink to ensure muscle rebuilding and avoid injury. Also plenty of orange juice to avoid cramp. Black coffee to enable faster metabolism to help burn fat. Only drinking at weekends, and try to stick to red wine, no beer. Cut out any sugary foods and replace with fruit and nuts. Plenty of water during day. Protein and carb intake increased to cope with higher demand on body. At least 6 hours sleep per night to aid recovery.

Do you have any advice? It has been too dark to jog in the evenings or early morning here but I want to make sure I try to do it regularly.<br/>Madman, giving up chocolate. Though Japan is a great place to do it. I am thinking of doing the Shimanto Sakura marathon in April with my supervisor (42km) but I am not sure I would be able to. Do you have any advice?

You never know, you might actually enjoy it! :-)<br/><br/>You can send your chocolate to me if you like and I'll keep it in a safe place to make sure neither of us eat it! Megane~kun

Don't think I could even do 1/4 of what you did! My Nihongo sensei is a runner and has been inviting us every time. Sometimes even resorting to a bribe of Pringles. LOL!<br/><br/>And I'm trying to avoid chocs too, but with my fridge stock full of the stuff, I'm not sure how long I can last... Wow, awesome run. Don’t think I could even do 1/4 of what you did!

And I’m trying to avoid chocs too, but with my fridge stock full of the stuff, I’m not sure how long I can last…

It must be a fantastic feeling to know that your hard work is paying off. The same goes for your photography, for that matter! Great to see your goals being met and exceeded. : ) <br/><br/>Anyway, hisashiburi and all that, it's been a while! I wish I could get to Tokyo when I go to Japan at New Year, but I'm hoping for a spring visit in early April, so hopefully you'll be free for a hanami or something! Best to you and Twinkle, I'm glad your married life is going well. Congratulations on your run! It must be a fantastic feeling to know that your hard work is paying off.
