From not being able to jog 2km to nailing ultramarathons, Under Armour ambassador, Marie Choo shares her tips on running the first 42K.
Fitness trainer Marie Choo is a lean mean ultramarathoner today, but it wasn’t this way just a few years ago. After a startling transformation, Marie now clocks long distances, dives and even finds the time to work with dog rescue groups.
The Under Armour brand ambassador who is part of the #UACelebrateWomen movement shares with us her top tips on how anyone can train up for her first marathon.
TRAIN OFTEN
This is a no-brainer but hard work is involved regardless of whether it is speed, strength or distance you’re looking to increase. Frequent training will also improve your endurance and build muscles. But it’s also important to start at a manageable pace or you may lose steam or worse, overtrain. When Marie first started, she upped her running to three or four times a week from once or twice.
VARY YOUR WORKOUTS
To make sure that your body does not “get used to” your workouts, remember to switch them up. Marie says, “I learnt that I needed to do both short runs as well as long and slow runs to build my stamina and endurance.”
