Tip # 10: IF YOU CAN STAND, DO NOT SIT

Normally, the Cut-Off time for a marathon is 7 hours. For 50k, 10 hours. For 60k, 14 hours. For 80k, 18 hours. For 100k, it varies from 18 hours to 24 hours.

Whether you work at home or work outside, it would be wise to maximize your time on your feet. Hence, do not sit if you can stand.

My work table is actually a cabinet. I don’t have a chair inside my room. For a while I had one when standing became a challenge for me because of my extra weight and belly fat. Now that I am lighter and slimmer (thanks to my awesome Coach Omar of BetterMe), I am back to my former routine of working while standing. 

To lessen your pain and agony, you may do it gradually starting from just 1 hour of standing, It’s really up to you how much time you will add for every passing day. If your goal is to run the marathon, aim to stand 7 hours a day.
