Donegal Quadrathon 14 - 17 Aug 2014

loudymacloud · 2014-01-22 15:14:23

Is anyone going doing this event later in the year http://www.extremenorthevents.com/quadrathon-4-half-full-marathons/competitor-info/ more importantly has anyone got any training tips for it. Would you just train as you would for a normal maratrhon? or would you need to put more miles in in training.

Treat it more like an ultra than a marathon. Run more miles and do a few back-to-back training sessions, as long as you can recover from them.

When you do the races run the first one very, very easily and forget about time. The subsequent ones will be slower anyway.
