OC Marathon and Half Marathon "The WALL is real" The carbs we eat are converted into glycogen for storage. Glycogen burns quickly to provide quick energy and most of us can only store enough glycogen in our bodies for about 30 km/18–20 miles of running. When glycogen runs low, our body begins to burn stored fat for energy. When this happens, most runners experience dramatic fatigue and is said to "hit the wall".

OC Marathon and Half Marathon "Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?" - Peter Maher
OC Marathon and Half Marathon Did you know that for a course to be Certified by the USATF, a certifier measures using multiple methods/multiple times. A race course is defined as the shortest possible route that a runner could take. Also ALL courses are measured to be one-one thousandths longer. For a marathon, that means that the course is approx 138 feet long. For these reasons, your GPS will always show the course is TOO long. Interesting huh?
OC Marathon and Half Marathon Do you know how/why the current marathon distance was established? That specific length was used first in the 1908 Olympics. That year the Olympics were in London and the marathon started at Windsor Castle. To have the finish line be in front of the Royal Family's viewing box at the Olympic Arena, the marathon length was set at 26 miles and 385 yards (26.22 miles or 42.195 km). - OC Marathon Random Thoughts
