I am nearly 63 years old and ran the Mumbai half marathon 2012. I would like to improve my performance which is today just under 3 hrs. I do not have any nutrition before or during the race other then water with the understanding that the body has enough reserves to run for 21km. But I get very tired in the last 5 km. Kindly suggest some measure to enable me to raise my performan to near 2:30 hrs.
Thank you and God Bless. | 0 |
