- Marathon
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Increasing your mileage (Jack Berkery berkery@emmax5crd.ge.com)
-
- There are many good, professional, books and articles on how to train for
- whatever distance you choose. More for the marathon than others I think.
- Get one or two and mull them over. The following recommendations are a
- distillation of having read and digested most of these and more than a
- decade of experience.
-
- Let's suppose you are beginning with a base load of about 20 miles per week
- over a long period. First I DO NOT recommend that anyone who has been
- running for less than 3 years should run a marathon. Running is a long-term
- game and it takes time for your body to become adjusted physically to the
- demands, not only of the marathon itself, but also of the heavy training
- mileage required to build up to it.
-
- Next, you should always keep in mind that your build-up should not exceed
- 10% per week. 10% doesn't sound like much but it's actually a big
- adjustment for your system to make. Not only muscles, but bones and
- connective tissues must be strengthened to take the increased load and
- running marathon mileage is a lot of pounding. Remember 10%. That is not to
- say that if you ran 20 miles last week, you cannot go more than 22 next
- week, but over a period of 3-4 weeks the rate of increase should not exceed
- the 10% slope. After 4 weeks then, you should be doing just under 30 miles,
- but not more. If you go from 20 to 24 in the first week thereby exceeding
- the 10% rate, then doing 24 again the second week will bring you back on
- track. You can continue to build up mileage for about 6 weeks when you'll
- reach 35 miles. Then you MUST BACK OFF for a week or so. Drop back by about
- 25-30% for one week. Take two or three days off in a row. Get some rest to
- gain strength before beginning the climb again.
-
- How much mileage is enough for a marathon? I have known people to run
- marathons on 25 or 35 miles per week. Don't try it. How they got away with
- it is not important. It is only important to know that it simply ain't
- smart. You can get away with 40-45 per week if you are doing a regular long
- run of 15-18 each week. It is better to be doing 50 or more for 6 to 8
- weeks before the marathon. This means you have to have the time necessary
- to build to 50 at that 10% rate (with 1 rest week out of every 6) and then
- sustain that 50+ mileage for 6-8 weeks as well. This is a heavy schedule.
- Never doubt that. When you listen to the mega-mileage people talk about 70
- or 80 or more, they make it sound as if everyone should be able to do that.
- Well we CAN'T all do that. We all have a break-down point and for the great
- majority, it lies somewhere below 50 or 60 miles per week. You'll know
- where yours is only after repeated tries to exceed it result in an injury.
-
- So how do you build the mileage? Suppose you are doing an even 3 miles a
- day, no more, no less. You must begin by building the long run. In a
- marathon training schedule, the long run is everything. Start the first
- week of the build-up by just lengthening one run. All other days should
- remain the same. Make one, usually Sat. or Sun., a 5-6 miler to get your
- 10% increase. Take the next day off from running. Rest is important after
- the long run to allow your system adjustment time. The next week of the
- build-up, increase the one long run again while still holding the normal
- daily runs the same. As a rule of thumb, your long run can go to 3 times
- the distance of your daily average run. So while still doing regular 3
- milers, you can build up that Sat. morning run to 9 miles. Don't do a 12
- miler though until you have made your daily run 4 miles. This means keeping
- the long run at 9 miles for a few weeks and increasing the daily runs until
- your average is 4 or 5 a day. Then you can return to increasing the long
- run. Toward the end of the build-up you may be doing something like 6-8
- each weekday plus an 18-20 miler on the weekend. It might also be a good
- idea to alternate long runs of 15 and 20 miles every other week.
-
- As you get close to the date of the marathon, run your last long run 2
- weeks before. DO NOT do a long run one week prior to the marathon. In fact
- for the last week you should taper down to do only about half, yes half,
- the mileage you have been doing. DO NOT run the day before and 2 days
- before the race you might only do 3 miles just to get the legs loose and
- the blood flowing. You MUST be well rested for the big race itself.
-
- Now assuming you do everything right there is still no guarrantee that the
- marathon is going to go well. Many things might prevail to make it hurt,
- hot or humid weather, getting caught up in too hard a pace, not drinking
- enough water before or along the way (THE GREATEST SIN). You may even spend
- 3 or 4 months building your training only to come down with an illness or
- injury a few weeks before the race which will set you right back to
- square-one. If you want certainties, you're in the wrong game. What matters
- is not that you get to do that particular marathon on that particular day 5
- months from now, but rather what you plan to do over the next 5 or 10 or 50
- years. I did say running is a long-term game, no?
-
- Another note of caution. All the rules can be broken. You may get away with
- lower training, higher ramp-up rates or shorter long-runs. You might even
- get away with it more than once, but sooner or later it's gonna get ya.
- Take the more conservative plan and be safe. You're looking for a positive
- experience not an injury.
