Here's a classic http://www.theonion.com/articles/area-man-training-for-upcoming-sanford-and-son-mar,1786/

Carb load first, ask questions later!

For those who can't commit to the full three days of training, I'm working on an accelerated 2 day plan!

fixed it for you!

I'll take "really, really good ways to get injured for $500 Alex..."

Got out a little early so I could get my 9.11 miles in.

Until you build your endurance, you want to run nice and easy most of the time. What does your current training look like? Are you running all the way through or taking walk breaks? A bunch of speedwork is overkill if you haven't built up your endurance yet. What is your 5K time?

I did 4 in 4 days once, but I ran them all at an easy pace. I did not die (yet). My uterus did fall out on day 3 (or did it). Just kidding (or am I?).

Di$ney is crazy overpriced, but they sell out all their events. I know here is So Cal they do an "untimed" 5K fun run for $60+ which I find totally insane. But if you love the mou$e I'm sure you'll have good time!

I crossed over 20,000 miles a few months back. That took ~ 11 years. My next 10,000 should take a little over 4 years.

Fight on Trojans!

I used to take half an imodium before all my runs. Now I only take it if my stomach is upset. I do always take one on race day (as a just in case).

Carson is dead on. Do the half (and a few more), you'll know when you're ready for the next distance. There is nothing fun about death march.

A well run marathons (even splits) is a TRICKY beast. Energy management is critical (hence the frequent warnings of don't go out too fast) and it is generally learned through experience. The tough part is you line up on race day feeling good (well training & well rested) so it is really easy to get going a little too fast.…

Exactly what toxins are you trying to get rid of? If detox was necessary, anyone NOT doing them would already be extinct...

Sounds like starvation to me - eat more!

Also don't forget that marathon training (for many of us) will result in MUCH faster half marathons.

The other issue is that marathons are tricky to race. You need to have a really good feel for your pacing and NOT go out too fast. If you are chasing an arbitrary time goal (sub 4, BQ, etc.) it is that much harder to not go out too fast. Bert, from your performance we can conclude a few things: 1) your half PR was/is…

My $.02: Half PR needs to be down in the low 1:50s before you can think about a 4 hour marathon. That also assumes you are properly training (lots of first timers tend to pick a more modest training program).

My $.02 - approach with caution. I'm not sure how many marathons you have under your belt, but it took me quite a few before I was ready to run them close to one another. It also depends whether or not your racing at your LSD pace or chasing a PR/BQ every time out. If you recover well from your 20+ milers, then you can use…

A lot of us runners tend to use of running a license to eat as we increase our mileage and it typically doesn't work well. I've put on weight while running 50+ miles per week (on far too many occasions). How does that happen? By eating 60 miles worth of food... I've been running lots of miles for lots of year now - the…

She's almost certainly too light to burn that much. Here's a cut & paste from another post on the weight and pace one needs to run for an hour to hit 1,000: At some point you get too light to be able to do it. 210 lbs @ ~9:00 pace should get you over 1,000 200 lbs @ ~8:30 pace 190 lbs @ ~8:00 pace 180 lbs @ ~7:30 pace 170…

As previously stated, you just need the proper mix of fairly heavy and kind of fast. The follow 1 hour runs should result in 1,000+ 210 lbs @ ~9:00 pace should get you over 1,000 200 lbs @ ~8:30 pace 190 lbs @ ~8:00 pace 180 lbs @ ~7:30 pace (this is my long tempo run) 170 @ ~7:00 pace 150 @ ~ 6:40 pace

I have a PhD in Broscience You only burned 289 calories on that run!

Crunch the numbers bro 8 miles @ 7:30 pace = 1,000+ an hour (for 180 lb runner) - I try to do that workout (long tempo run) once a week there's nothing magical about it, but it's a tough workout 125 - 130 calories a mile is not odd for 180 lb guy a 150 lb runner would burn ~ 900 for that workout a 200 lb runner would be ~…

Just back from a 14 mile run - took 2:03 (so ~ 8:48 avg pace). I'm training for my 27th marathon. ~ 1,800 calories for those who believe in the laws of physics 342 calories for those with a PhD in broscience...

Indeed, I'm at half marathon race pace for almost a solid hour to get over 1,000 nothing magic, just a number the bro-science kid certainly look better with his shirt off than I do, but I can likely run faster & farther because that's what I like to do

The steady state cardio is pretty easy to figure out. When all sources tell me (HRM, RW calc, Garmin, etc) I burn ~ 135+ per mile, I round down to 130 and call it a day. http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/calories-burned-calculator The trick to burning 1,000 in a hour is being both heavy and fast.

Perhaps for lifting, but for running a 200 lb runner burns much more than 100 lb runner. Come for a run with me, we can burn 1,000 in an hour (depending on how much you weigh).

I do that most every morning. Here's the trick; be pretty heavy and be pretty fast. I usually run 6 - 8+ miles on weekday mornings. At 180 lbs, that ~ 130+ calories per mile. On Tuesday morning I did a tempo run, 8 miles in just under an hour (~ 7:25 per mile). So that's 1,000+ in an hour. Edit to add: that's a TOUGH…
