If you now train 3 times a week, 5-7 miles, with some
hills, you are close to ready. The tough part is
self-control. You need to pace over a 48-hour period
anticipating little or no sleep. The fight is three
rounds, and between rounds you have to rest when you
can. Most common runner mistake I've seen is nervous
over-drinking and over-eating of "race fuel" type
stuff. Double bad when these same runners are
uncomfortable with the porto-pot and timing out the
waiting lines.
