Can i run a marathon soon after a half?

Answered by a doctor

...is it psychotic to consider a marathon a month or after the half? I have two more months to train, and I am sure that I am ready RIGHT NOW for the 1/2. Should I just train thru the 1/2 and let that be an easier long run that sunday? I am really driven to finish a marathon, and I don't want to...

How to prevent dehydration while running?

Answered by a doctor

I'm getting tired of being plagued by this. No matter how much I drink I can't seem to avoid it on race day. In the cold it's not a problem (8M with nothing was not even an issue), but in anything above 70 degrees it's a plague. In training I've been drinking 4oz water at 2M, then 4oz...

10k or 1/2 marathon

Answered by a doctor

I was planning on running a 10k this weekend that is close by. I'm the defending champ 2 years running. (I've never in my life won a race 3x in a row) Last night, I was asked to run a half as a marthon relay as his partner had children problems. The race would require an overnight stay....
