The urse for all three will be on the niversity’s east and west campus eas. The marathon is sponsored by iquenf awi if Epsilon Kappa, the Health bemaX I %sical Education Depart- . Any siu» ent’shonor fraternity, but it ori- wilhh f i iF nated as a project for an adv- iversity fw iced aerobics class, jersey w Interest in the marathon was 3rlhan gh that first year, Higham said, registration was opened to the blic. Since then participation has en good. Last year about 500 ople entered but the record mber of participants is over )00, set in 1979. Higham said he expects about Oagain this year. About a fifth of use will enter the full marathon 11 id most will finish, he said, eventy-seven out of 90 finished the 26.22 mile run last year. “The quarter would be your highest percentage of success and the half would be next,” Higham said. “Then we start to see a drop off. “But, last year was pretty dam good.” Thunder, lightning and ex treme rain would be the only ob stacles keeping a determined marathoner from the race. “We re safety conscious from the standpoint of thunder and lightning,” Higham said. “There’s no use in sending anyone out in that.” This safety consciousness will include stations and timers posi tioned every two miles along the track to offer water, lotion and en couragement to runners. Four or five aerobic students and a Uni versity emergency medical tech nician will be at each station. Re strooms will also be on the course. Track Coach Bill Nix said run ners should take advantage of aid stations. “Water intake is very impor tant,” he said. “Runners should always take advantage of it, or else they’re going to dehydrate and have to drop out.” Higham agreed: “At least douse yourself to cool down, take some in. Splash it on, take it on the run, but get it down.” Dr. H. Duane Lagan, associate director of A.P. Beutel Health Center, said running regularly is the best preparation for the marathon. “Get out and run,” Lagan said. “Running shouldn’t be to exhaus tion, but should be to fatigue ... then get out and train again the next day.” Higham said runners should have at least three months training before running the full or half “Running shouldn't be to exhaustion, but should be to fatigue" — Dr. H. Duane Lagan, A.P. Beutel Health Center marathon. They should average about one-third of that distance a day, he said. “That way you have a sense of what you’re doing,” Higham said. “You’re not questioning whether you can finish it or not — you know you can.” Nix and Lagan recommended a AUTO INSURANCE ' FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 00 S. College 823-8051 balanced diet for training, with runners loading up on car bohydrates three or four days be fore the marathon. The extra car bohydrates will act as a reserve fuel supply, they said. Higham recommended low-fat foods, like fish and chicken. He also recommended cutting out fried foods, junk food and milk. Milk causes excess mucus. Higham also said adequate sleep before the race is important. “Don’t do anything that devi ates from your normal sleep pat tern,” he said. “Get what you con sider a good night’s sleep.” Runners will have a chance to forget about training and diets af ter the marathon. The fee — $8 until Saturday, $10 after that — pays for a ticket to a barbecue banquet and a prize drawing at the Texas Hall of Fame, as well as a marathon T- shirt and registration cost. Barbecue, beans, potato salad and tea will be served. Beer and soft drinks cost extra. The top three runners in each age category and race distance will be honored with recognition at the banquet, Higham said, but no for mal awards will be given because of the marathon’s “fun through fit ness” emphasis. The last day to enter the marathon is April 10, from 6-9 p.m. atG. Rollie White Coliseum. Applications are available in 120 G.
