Kwiminyaka emithathu edlulileyo ndabaleka umdyarho wam wokuqala ogcweleyo. Ukusukela ngoko, ndingene ezinye ezine, kwaye ngoMvulo ndiza kuphawula owam wesithandathu: IBoston Marathon. (Inxulumene: Yonke into ekufuneka uyazi malunga neBoston Marathon) Konke kulungiselela eyam… isigubhu esisiqhu ...

Yintoni i-ultra? Nguwo nawuphi na umgama omde kuno-26.2. Umkhabi owongezelelweyo: Ndikhethe ukujongana ne-50k (i-31.1 yeemayile) entabeni. Ke ewe, ndibaleka umdyarho weBoston njengo "koqeqesho" lokubaleka. Uphambene? Ewe, abanye banokuyibiza ngokuba ikhaliphile, inesibindi okanye izimisele kodwa kum, oku luqeqesho nje olunamandla.

Njengembaleki "yegqala" lomdyarho ndinokuba ndiyincutshe kwimiba emininzi yosuku lomdyarho, kodwa kuhlala kukho indawo yokuphucula. Ndisebenza ekubeni yimbaleki ezinzileyo, esempilweni kwaye ikhoyo-nantsi indlela endenza ngayo-kunye neengcebiso zam ezizanyanisiweyo nezinyani zoqeqesho lwe-marathon.

Ukujonga iGear: Into oyinxibayo ibalulekile

Umgangatho wezixhobo ngundoqo. Ngaba unokucinga ukubaleka iimayile ezingama-26.2 kwinto engonwabisiyo? Ewe, hayi enkosi! Nantsi indlela endiyilungisa ngayo intshontsho losuku lomdyarho kunye noqeqesho (ungazami into entsha yomdyarho!):

Ndinabarhanelwa abaqhelekileyo: iiteki ezithembakeleyo ezivela eNike, uxinzelelo oluphezulu esinqeni sokubaleka, ioyile yam endiyithandayo ebaleka iikawusi (iinyawo mazishushu!), Kunye nepakethi yemidiya kwifowuni yam. eziphefumlayo, ezikhaphukhaphu ezibalekayo eziphuma kwi-Tracksmith, iiglavu zokugcina izandla zam zishushu, kunye nemigangatho yesiseko enemikhono emide yoqeqesho olubandayo kusasa. Ukuchukumisa okokugqibela kumdibaniso wam wokubaleka yibhatyi yam entsha endiyithandayo ebamba ubushushu kakuhle kodwa iphefumla lula kwezo mayile zinde.

Ukongeza kwiimfuno zam, ndigxile kwigiya evelisa isiseko esincinci sekhabhoni. Ndiyenza njani le nto? Utyalo-mali ekubalekeni iziqwenga ezenziwe ngoboya be-merino base-Australia, olona tshintsho lunokuphinda lusetyenziswe kwaye luphinde lusetyenziswe kwiintsinga ezinkulu zempahla, kwaye zii-100% ezinokuboliswa ziintsholongwane. Ikwasebenza: Iyaphefumla ngokwendalo kwaye iyamelana nevumba. (Idibeneyo: Ukuqina kweGiya elenziwe ngeeNdwangu zeNdalo eziPhakame ziye kuKhona kuQeqesho lwakho)

Isibaso esiSekwe kwiZityalo

Ndijonge ukutya njengamafutha, ikakhulu. Okukhona isibaso sicocekile, kokukhona sitshisa ngcono. Ndiye ndisekelwe kwisityalo phantse iminyaka eyi-10 (ususe i-hiatus encinci ekupheleni kwe-20. Ibali elide ...). Ukulandela ukutya okungqongqo, okusekwe kwizityalo sesona sizathu sokuba ndikwazi ukuqhubeka nokuqhuba ndisempilweni kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo. Ukuya ngokungqongqo kwisiseko sezityalo kuye kwayikhulula imiba yamathumbu, kunciphisa inkungu yengqondo, kwaye kunika amandla ahlala ixesha elide. Andizibali ii-carbs okanye ndibukele amanqatha am kuba ndigcwalisa isitya sam ngezityalo ezityebileyo, iziqhamo, iinkozo kunye namandongomane. (Idibeneyo: Nantsi kutheni iiCarbs zibaluleke kakhulu ekusebenzeni kwakho)

Ukutyala okusekwe kwizityalo kunokuza ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo, kodwa ndipheka ngaphandle kweoyile ekhaya, endaweni yoko ndikhetha iviniga, i-tahini, kunye ne-saladi yokunxiba kunye neediphu. Ubusuku bangeCawa obuqhelekileyo kum ndichitha ukutya kulungiselelwa iveki. Ndiyathanda ukwenza iitapile ezibhakwe kabini, i-cashew cheese, ihummus, irayisi emdaka,. Ndinqunqa i-kale, i-carrots ye-grate, i-veggies yomphunga kwaye ndibetha ubisi olutsha lwe-nut (cinga i-cashew kunye ne-almond).

Nalu ulwahlulo lwendlela endibasa ngayo ngeembaleki ezimfutshane, ukubaleka okude kunye nosuku lomdyarho:

Ubaleko olufutshane: Isidlo sakusasa sine-berry smoothie enobisi lwe-almond, imihla ecoliweyo kunye nembewu ye-chia. Isidlo sam sasemini / isidlo sasemini: i-hummus kunye neekherothi kunye nesaladi ye-kale.

Ukuhamba ixesha elide (nantoni na ngaphezulu kweemayile ezili-10): Isidlo sakusasa sisitya esikhulu se-oats kunye nebhanana kunye nebhotela ye-almond. Emva kokubaleka, ndiza kuba nobisi lwe-almond yetshokholethi (jonga: Ngokuchanekileyo kutheni ubisi lweTshokholethi ebizwa ngokuba "sesona siselo sigqibeleleyo sasemva kokuzilolonga") kunye nesaladi endala enebhanti emnyama eyenziwe ekhaya kunye nokunxiba i-tahini okanye i-beet hummus yam eneemifuno kunye neetapile zetapile.

Usuku lohlanga: Isidlo sakusasa sihlala sihleli, sihlala sikhona i-oatmeal! Usuku lomdyarho waseBoston ndicwangcise ukuba ne-oats yam ethembekileyo endiyenzayo ngaphambi kwexesha elide. (Ukuba uku-cruch yexesha, jonga: UkuGcina iOatmeal Hacks yeXesha eliya kuguqula ngokugqibeleleyo intsasa yakho) ndiyaqinisekisa nokusela iglasi enkulu yamanzi-kunye nesona siselo sibaluleke kakhulu sakusasa: Ikofu enobisi lwe-oat.

Ebudeni bogqatso, ndizisa eyam incama yomhla, kodwa ndikwathanda iijeli zamandla ze-Honey Stinger kunye ne-waffle yokuqala ye-Honey Stinger.

Ukuyihambisa Phantsi kwiNotshi

Isicwangciso sengqondo yonke into. Sisithende se-achilles sobuchule bam bogqatso. Ukucotha kunye nokuzinza kuphumelela ugqatso, kunene? Yiloo nto kanye isicwangciso sam seBoston (esicothayo kwaye sizinzile- ukungaphumeleli, ngokucacileyo!). Akuyi kubakho lukhuphiswano nxamnye nabani na, nditsho nam ngokwam; Andizimiselanga kwenza le khosi. Endaweni yoko, ndiza kuthatha isantya sam ezantsi kwimizuzwana engama-90 nge-mile ngokuzithandela ngenjongo yokuba umzimba wam uhlengahlengise kwi "trail pace" phambi kwe-ultra. (Eyeleleneyo: Ukubaluleka Koqeqesho *Ngengqondo* kuMdyarho)

Xa ndisuka namashumi amawaka eembaleki ezigxotha ipavumente ejikeleze mna, ndiza kuphefumla nzulu ndithi kum "inyathelo elinye ngexesha, kancinci kwaye uzinzile, themba uqeqesho lwakho". Le mantra iya kuhlala iluphele ikhosi yonke de ndigqithe emgceni wokugqibela kwaye imbasa ekhazimlayo igqunywe entanyeni yam.

Ngokuqinisekileyo, ingqondo yam iya kubhadula kwaye umzimba wam uya kuba buhlungu, kodwa ngezo ndlela zinzima zendlela ndiya kuhlawulisa phambili. Yaye xa ndilugqibile ugqatso, imvakalelo enzulu yokukhululeka neyokufezwa iya kundoyisa. Ke ngoku? Iya kuba konke malunga nokubuyiselwa kwe-ultra. Ukuqengqeleka amagwebu, iibhafu zetyuwa, ukuzolula, ukulala kakuhle, kunye nokutya okusempilweni zonke ziyinxalenye yesicwangciso sam. Umzimba wam kufuneka uhlale womelele kwi-50K ezayo! Inyathelo elinye ngexesha.
