The key here is duct tape, not band-aids

Correction- throw some band-aids on your nipples because you can't win a marathon without a little blood. use duct tape for your feet. didn't think of that huh?

Mileage junkie. Mistake #1. its not a matter of running x miles to train for a 13.1 mile race; it's a matter of accumulating minutes in motion. Training your body to feel uncomfortable and be comfortable with that for longer than you plan on racing. Much longer.
