Runner training 5 sessions per week to conquer Hue VnExpress Marathon

Trung Tran – a registered full marathon runner – said he waited and practiced for the race since the beginning of the year, but the tournament was delayed twice because of Covid-19. He continuously changed the distance every time VnExpress Marathon Hue changed the organization date, from 10 km to 21 km, finally registered 42 km. Over the past several months, he has been running continuously and thinks that he can conquer the most challenging and challenging journey.

Coming to a full year of jogging, Trung Tran loves every step of his run because he not only enhances his health, endurance, strengthens persistence, but also helps him to have more friends …

Each week he spends 4-5 sessions running outdoors, with a total distance of 50-60 km. Alternating with these are supplementary training and cycling sessions. He increases carb intake, gets used to gels, and salt to use when entering the solution.
