Next would be to begin your running regime, and I would recommend from 25 to 30 miles per week to begin with. You want to start off fairly slow, and build up as the event gets nearer. I would say to allow, at the minimum of prior training, before running the entire distance. On Saturday I ran 75 miles, but that's a little more than usual. I typically run around 80 to 100 miles per week when I'm training for an event.
Water is a very important element in training and racing.
The temperatures at the Bay 2 Breaker are typically fairly cool but still, running that distance without rehydrating can present problems. There are ample aid stations along the way, and it is advisable to drink plenty of water even if you're not feeling thirsty. If you are already feeling thirsty, it's already too late. In addition to the centipede, we have a large group, numbering more than 100, of family members, friends, transplant recipients and health care providers that march with the children, increasing the size of the group and the intensity of the message. The other way to support ORU, is to have a family discussion so that everyone in your family knows your wishes regarding organ donation.
