Have you registered for the Riverway Insomnia 100 Ultra or the Riverway Insomnia 42 Marathon?? We have some training tips for you! 🏃🏃♀️
Training Tips for Sustaining a 24-Hour Event:
✅ Build Endurance Gradually: Incorporate long, slow runs (10-15km at a comfortable pace) 2–3 times per week to build aerobic capacity. Add one weekly “backyard simulation” session: for example run 4.2km every hour for 4–6 hours to mimic the event’s stop-start rhythm.
✅ Course Familiarity: Train on the actual course at Riverway: Insomniac (a/clockwise) | Strava Run Segment in Townsville City, Queensland
✅ Practice Recovery: Train your body to recover quickly between efforts. After a hard run, practice sitting, eating, and hydrating within 10–15 minutes to simulate lap breaks.
✅ Mental Preparation: Develop a mantra or mental strategy to stay focused during low moments. Practice visualization techniques to prepare for the fatigue of overnight running.
✅ Night Running: For Marathon competitors, include night runs in training to adapt to low-light conditions and sleep deprivation. Use a reliable headlamp.
