SUMMARY:Endurance Run/Marathon Training\; 5th in a Program Series.
DESCRIPTION:  Endurance Run/Marathon Training\; 5th in a Program Serie
	s. UPDATED INFORMATION FOLLOWS: We are going to meet at the Robb Field
	 Skateboard Park. Here is a map of how to get there. The meetup time i
	s 6:45. You are welcome to join me for breakfast at the Old Town House
	 Restaurant on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach. "How to cover a marathon
	 in a training session\, and not get totally thrashed in the process."
	 "It is one thing to run a marathon. It is another thing to have a dec
	ent handle on the distance." This program is geared toward those that 
	hope to someday run multiple marathons/ultras in the future\, and pati
	ently and decidedly work\, over multiple months/years\, toward that go
	al\, (because you should resolve to running more than one\, if you wan
	t to run one well). Of course\, if you're considering running just one
	 so that you can check it off your 'life's lists'\, you are more than 
	welcome to join us during these sessions. There may be more than one o
	f you out there reading this that if you give this program a try\, you
	 consequently may end up moving out of the latter camp into the former
	. Is this Galloway's program? Yes and no. It deviates from it as much 
	as you want (and there is no fee). There are nuggets of key training p
	rinciples that Galloway has a cool method of exploring\, which we will
	 try to follow. In these particular endurance training sessions\, part
	icipants will strongly be encouraged to specifically follow Galloway's
	 run/walk method (regardless of whether they feel like "dropping the b
	omb" that day). The overall average pace for participants (including t
	he walking time) will fall in the range of 9:30-11:30 min/mile\, depen
	ding on the participant's objectives and level. In running group sessi
	ons\, egos can get in the way of accomplishing the originally set-out 
	objective\, so I'm specifically scheduling these 4 to 5+ hour enduranc
	e sessions that will employ the run/walk method. Participants will be 
	encouraged to explore\, through an experiential learning experience\, 
	the following topics of discussion: nutrition\, glycogen depletion\, b
	lood chemistry\, ph and hormonal balance\, injury\, recovery\, stress\
	, brain glycogen\, periodization\, base\, anaerobic\, aerobic\, capill
	ary beds\, mitochondria\, DOMS\, MAF\, free radical damage\, walk/run 
	ratio versus distance\, "hitting the wall"\, etc. Beginners will work 
	up to eventually covering at least a marathon in distance during these
	 sessions. Advanced participants will eventually work up to covering a
	n ultra-marathon (50k+) during the sessions. Initially\, participants-
	-particularly novice and beginners (less than two years of semi-seriou
	s running)--are encouraged to fully fuel-up prior to\, and during the 
	run. Main emphasis of the initial sessions is physical strengthening w
	ithout radical disruption in blood ph. Participants are encouraged to 
	wear heart-rate monitors\, a powerful tool that can be used to evaluat
	e the development of the aerobic system over time (after weeks/months 
	of training). Recommended reading material for this program is Gallowa
	y's book: Marathon: You Can Do It! (You can preview it at the above li
	nk.) The book is just a basic superficial covering of "developmental e
	ndurance running". Although it may be postured as just a "beginner's b
	ook\, in reality\, it elegantly and concisely lays out key principles 
	and methods without going deep into detail or the explanation behind t
	hem\, but it does follow the "KISS" principle. We can experientially (
	lol) explore the main topics in more detail during the sessions. On ou
	r message boards\, I go into detail discussing this Galloway program. 
	Hope to see you out there\, -John- ------------------- P.S. For the fo
	rseeable future\, I've scheduled these endurance run/walk sessions rou
	ghly every three weeks. The dates\, leading up to the AFC Half-Maratho
	n on August 17\, are:April 26\, 2008 May 24\, 2008 June 14\, 2008 July
	 5\, 2008 (my 25th anniversary in San Diego) July 26\, 2008 ----------
	--------- P.S.S. As always\, in the words of Mr. Galloway himself: "Be
	fore you start a strenuous training program\, be sure to get clearance
	 from a doctor who knows the benefits of exercise."\n
