Re: My First Marathon
How high is the wall?

Re: My First Marathon
Height:
4 climbs of 600+m, and a few other little ones. To put this into perspective, the Shard in London is 300m, or the Burj is 800m.
I ran my tower last night 9 times - total climb of 200 floors, so maybe around 600m, it took an hour.
Attached is the elevation plan for those interested or terminally bored.

Re: My First Marathon
It's certainly not easy and the security guard thinks I'm nuts as I keep running past him out of the lifts in the basement.
Attached is my heart rate profile for last night. Red means full anaerobic with a heart rate in excess of 90%+ of the maximum - so around 170bpm for me. You can see the recovery as I take the lift down. I've been doing this for a while now.
(not forgetting that the stairwell is at around 25C and the car park about 32C at the moment)

Edit: Ah, just realised not 9 x 200 but 9 = 200. Even though that's a lot of stairs...

I don't even properly understand it but I am exhausted just reading about your exertions!

Why take lift though? Is it to make it more interval like or just to catch breath?
Assumption being made from the elevation is that you'll have to go down stairs too?

Re: My First Marathon
Going down doesn't do much from a training perspective but it will screw your knees. Keep them fresh for the day.

Re: My First Marathon
JH is 1000m climb over 11.5km.
And respect on 90km!

Re: My First Marathon
I'm just a bit too old and fat for JH now . 90 is my normal Friday, trying to build up to the holy grail of cycling. (100 miles non stop) .

Re: My First Marathon
Jeball Hafeet done twice this morning. Properly mental challenge. Almost 2000m of aggregate ascent over around 20km. 4.30am start in Dubai for a 6am at the rock.
Frankly the first time was easy. The second time was very tough though and there was more walking than running for sure - it was also starting to warm up. I went with a friend (who is also doing GW-China with me). He gave me a 3km headstart on the second round and the bastard still sailed past me. We were suppose to cross the finish together! I take no comfort in the fact he is 10 years younger!

Re: My First Marathon
A friend of mine recently completed her first ultra marathon between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Because it was along the canal it was very flat. According to several of her fellow runners it is easier to run when there is changeable terrain as you're not using the same muscle groups constantly.
I'm sort of assuming that you won't be constantly ascending all the time during the run, are you also training on flat and downhill stuff?
