My Top 10 Tips for Marathon

169. Be An Obnoxious Tweeter.

Take an obvious position that few people disagree with. As soon as it's clear you were right, post an obnoxious tweet gloating about how "I told you so." This not so subtle technique of making the story about you will relieve you of the burden of posing as a decent and humble human being. For maximum effect, change your twitter password so your brother can't punk you out by deleting the tweet.

Stay tuned for more tips!

Pardon my ignorance but what is 5x18? Is this a serious workout or an LRC meme? Google revealed nothing.

199. Print a Hard Copy of 5 x 18 Threads.

5 x 18 is the most effective workout to run sub 2:55 in the 'thon. Unfortunately it is a highly guarded secret and any discussion of it will be almost immediately deleted. I recommend that you save and print any thread about the elusive 5 x 18. For now, here is one that for now seems to have slipped through the cracks:

More tips on the way!

200. The Big Gulp

Before running "The Thon". Make sure to drink a big gulp at 7/11 so you store up calories the day before your race!

Make sure to have a cup of covfefe before the big race. Beneficial dumpage will occur.

201. All those fans wanting high fives to encourage you at Mile 20? Be sure to stick your hand down the front of your shorts for a few seconds before removing it and giving them that high five!

How lucky re we to have the advice of two of the world's most brilliant coaches, rcjason and j.s., right here in River City!

202. Pure Hate

It has been scientifically proven that you can race 800 meters on pure hate. Therefore, hire 53 people to personally insult you at each half-mile and at mile 26.

103. Going the Distance

Before running "the thon" you must first listen to going the distance by the movie Rocky so you can garantee sub 3 in "the thon".

203. Read Message Boards.

There is TONS of good advice on running message boards. ANd lots of friendly people like you out there in the world. Whether you want advice on a jogging bra, water bottle belt, or compression socks/shorts, the message boards at letsrun are friendly waters!

See my other thread for marathon hydration belts and fanny pack recommendations.

Rule 89:Patriotism

Always wear American colors on the day of your thon. It has been proven you will be carried by eagles to a sub 3 hour "the thon" and its funner the seconder time.
