- (d) For my independent component I trained to run a half marathon and a full marathon. It was a different experience than if i had just trained for a full marathon alone because it would have involved doing less long milage training. Every weekend I would do long distance miles, no matter how long it took. This helped me on race day because I felt prepared for the long milage ahead of me. My final result was running in the Mickey Mouse Walt Disney World Marathon, and half marathon.
- INTERPRETIVE
My project demonstrates 30 hours of work because it takes long hard house to complete, and train for a race like this. In order to build up your milage you must practice and train. Each week you run over 40 miles. Which accumulates a lot of time over several months, especially when the longer miles become more frequent. - APPLIED
This helped me understand more of what i already know about marathons. They arent easy, but they can be a fun experience. All the knowledge that I had accumulated prior to the race helped me get through it. It also showed me what I personally need to work on and what other people can work on. It is a clear answer to my EQ. Through my experience I feel i can better answer my EQ by using research as well as first hand knowledge.
