Strength training—and cake—helped Max Glover complete the task and raise money for a good cause.
Another thing Hamilton said is crucial to completing a task like this: fueling and rest breaks. Both of which Glover was well-prepared for.
“I scheduled breaks, and I had to take these regardless of how I was feeling, even if I was feeling fine, I would have to stop and stay on top of things, I didn’t want to run out of ATP [energy that powers muscle contraction] or glycogen.” And, as he got going, he learned how to adapt to the track and when and where it made sense to break for a rest and fuel. He planned to take breaks for food every four miles. These breaks ranged from about five minutes to a little bit longer as the night went on. He also had the people steering the car use the odometer to measure every half mile to stop for things like hydration, bathroom breaks, and a snack like a banana or light carbs.
He’d use the power he saved in recovery to power through this incline, knowing that after this, the track sloped into a slight decline before coming to another gradual incline to finish out the lap.fuelingHe had his usual breakfast of fruit, white rice, and mackerel at 6 a.m. before a three and a half hour drive to the track. There, he had a couple of ham sandwiches from a nearby pub. The marathon started at 1:50 p.m., so he wanted to make sure he was fueled up beforehand.
He raised £2,161.24 for the Harefield Hospital transplant appeal, well more than his goal of £1,000 . His Just Giving page can be found
