Are you 18 or over and dreaming of a great sporting challenge <\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the \n Generali Gen\u00e8ve Marathon<\/a>\n<\/strong> is for you! A 42.195 km<\/strong> route in the middle of May, criss-crossing the magnificent Swiss countryside and the heart of the beautiful city of Geneva. So if you’d like to challenge yourself physically and mentally in the company of motivated, energetic people in sumptuous scenery, don’t hesitate any longer…this marathon in the heart of Geneva is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how do you prepare for an event like a marathon? Training, nutrition and equipment<\/strong>… Come and discover all my tips for a successful spring run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marathon training<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In general, marathon training begins 4 months<\/strong> before the race. During these weeks of preparation, the first thing to remember is to train on terrain similar to the event<\/strong><\/a>. The famous Generali Gen\u00e8ve marathon<\/strong> takes place both in the countryside and in the city, so alternate training sessions between concrete and country roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jogging sessions: a must for such an event<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Train your cardio <\/strong>by jogging .<\/strong> This simply involves running in moderation. It’s essential to prepare your body with these slower running sessions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a good warm-up, <\/strong>essential before every jog, start with 2-hour <\/strong>sessions and increase the pace to 2 hours 45 minutes <\/strong>as you go along. Don’t pull on the rope and always listen to your body. Ideally, you should do 1 <\/strong>jogging session <\/strong>a week between your split sessions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Split sessions: train like a real athlete before the event<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After warming up, <\/strong>you should do at least 3 running sessions a week <\/strong>to prepare for your marathon, i.e. sessions where you run at marathon pace, but split the time or distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I advise you to walk 2 X 5 kilometers <\/strong>or 3 X 20 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your body will get used to this pace, but by dividing up the time and the number of kilometers, you don’t tire your body unnecessarily; on the contrary, you condition it for this beautiful Swiss race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top-notch diet to put your chances on the side<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
