EPISODE 35: We Ran a Half Marathon with NO TRAINING DeakHeads - The TRIAX Performance Podcast

- Sport
You don't start training for a marathon the night before it starts. But what about a half-marathon? Well, that might be a different story.
In this episode of the DeakHeads podcast, Sean and Damo attempted a half-marathon with little to no training.
That's right. A couple of exercise and sport science professionals attempted a half-marathon with hardly any training. Can you actually complete a half-marathon with little to no training. Ideally, no. You should not attempt a half marathon without a solid block of aerobic training. But sometimes you just have to go out there and give it a shot. Sean and Damo both completed the 21km in around two hours. Were they sore? Yes. Should they have completed an actual training program? Yes.
But in was also in the spirit of a very worth cause. Chris Ross, former Frankston VFL High Performance Manager was recently diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease at the young age of 31. The Frankston VFL community got around Rossy and raised over $100k for him and his family. A sensational effort. Sean also raised approximately $1500 himself. A commendable feat and one he should be extremely proud of himself for.
In this video:
- The boys talk about how they felt during different stages of the half-marathon
- The points during the race when they felt they couldn't finish the 21km
- How they felt after the race
- What they did to recover from the half-marathon
- How they would train for a half-marathon going forward
- What you need to think about when training for your own half marathon
- Should you do strength training for running?
