We got through the walk no problems, it was probably only the last 5kms that started to hurt...great atmosphere on the day, lovely support staff - I'd say go for it! Just make sure you have well worn in, properly fitted runners (blisters would be horrible on the day), and a training plan leading up to it (last year they published one on their website). And don't forget the sunscreen! Let me know how you go if you sign up :)ejorpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803356774463998436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034116958711987628.post-75626189660018064242015-05-04T21:34:31.554+10:002015-05-04T21:34:31.554+10:00I'm working towards doing the first Adelaide v...I'm working towards doing the first Adelaide version of this in September 2015 and was wondering how it all worked out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034116958711987628.post-12637039279009868492014-10-14T11:25:12.585+11:002014-10-14T11:25:12.585+11:00Thanks Adri! I am so in awe of anyone who runs :)
...Thanks Adri! I am so in awe of anyone who runs :)<br /><br />I'm not normally a chatty walker - I like the thinking time a walk brings. I write a LOT of blog posts on my walks (unfortunately their all still in my head, not on my blog!). But for this walk I am doing it with a friend, so we'll keep each other company. <br /><br />I agree re: eating...a banana does sound like a good option. And I know a lot of people who love protein bars, but all the one's I've tried still taste horrible to me!<br /><br />(ps. The 21 kms is just part of my training, the actual event is 35 kms! Eeeeep!)ejorpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803356774463998436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034116958711987628.post-16918521612728412762014-10-14T05:04:14.265+11:002014-10-14T05:04:14.265+11:00A loooong time ago, I did two half marathons. In ...A loooong time ago, I did two half marathons. In the not so distant past, I did a few 5km and 10km runs without too much prep. But, a 21km walk... hmm. Are you a chatty walker? If so, you can chat your way through, but if not, I'd definitely bring music to break down the kilometers. I'd also bring a sport drink to supplement the water you'll likely get along the way. If they offer a banana along the run, take it, and see how you feel about eating it a bit by bit... I'm not a big fan of the gobbling of much food while running...I remember being really nauseous during/after the half marathons. Protein bars and such have probably come a long way since those long runs, but they did taste more delicious the longer I ran. :Dadriprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03924063778972115705noreply@blogger.com
