Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer.

    As always, be sure to read the wiki first. Like, all of it. Rule #0 still applies in this thread.

    Also, there's a handy search function to your right, and if you didn't know, you can also use Google to search r/Fitness by using the limiter "site:reddit.com/r/fitness" after your search topic.

    Other good resources to check first are Exrx.net for exercise-related topics and Examine.com for nutrition and supplement science.

    If you are posting a routine critique request, make sure you follow the guidelines for including enough detail.

    (Please note: This is not a place for general small talk, chit-chat, jokes, memes, "Dear Diary" type comments, shitposting, or non-fitness questions. It is for fitness questions only, and only those that are serious.)

    I'm running a marathon in 10 chunks & want to know if I'm training in a terrible way

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 05:33 PM PDT

    Marathon is the reaper marathon in south carolina, july 17th.

    https://runsignup.com/Race/SC/Seneca/CarolinaReaper

    I've been training by running long periods of time consecutively in the given time frame-- last week I ran 15 consecutive miles at like a 13:30 pace. But the catch with this race is that the 26.2 miles are broken into 2.6 mile chunks, and every runner has 45 minutes to complete a given chunk. If you finish early, you can't start the next chunk, but you have to wait until the next chunk starts.

    My questions are:

    a) should I train in the manner the race is being run? or if I can run x miles consecutively at a given pace is it safe to say I can run that same amount broken up even faster?

    b) what should I do for these breaks besides hydrate? stretch? sit? jog? walk? I want to stay loose but also staying loose for 8 hours is a long time to be loose

    c) any other thoughts?

    e: janitor dm'd me, per their request my goal is just to finish
