There are a lot of things to keep in mind when preparing for your first marathon—and I’m not talking about the months of training you already have planned and in some cases, finished. I’m talking about the race itself—the actual day (and week) in which you are going to run those 42Klms. Once you have followed through with your training, how do you make sure all of the other factors are in order?
I'd like to start a little discussion today about carbohydrates... and in particular, potatoes. One reason I wanted to mention this is because so many health and fitness professionals trash talk potatoes about being a bad carbohydrate choice because of the high glycemic index. Some even say such ridiculous things as "avoid any and all white carbohydrates".
Parkour started on the streets of France and is the art of moving through your environment as fast and efficient using only your body and the surrowndings to propel yourself. It can include running, jumpling, climbing and even crawling.
Freerunning, Wu Shu, gymnastics, break dancing or any other martial art or discipline you are more than welcome.
