RE: [RC] Marathon training - Dolores ArsteInterestingly, this
is how I got my stallion to his 100's.
I had never done
anything as a human athlete before
embarking on my
personal challenge with my wonderful
horse.
My husband is an
Ultra-marathoner. He kept
telling me to "do
the time, not the speed" and
"oatmeal is better
than no meal" and
"Give the body lots
of time to heal"
The first time I
rode 38 miles I cried that I
would never be able
to do 100.
I still haven't done
a 1 day 100 but I have
done the 3 day CTR
100's
Its coming though
and likely on an Arab not
my beloved Morgans -
sigh.
PS: It was this
stallion's son that took us on a
new adventure into
the world of
mental training.
