People with HIV have a few more factors to consider when conditioning themselves for a marathon. For some, it may get tricky.
The National AIDS Marathon Training Program places runners into pace groups. In these groups, individuals share stories and support each other along the way. Building trusting relationships is vital in taking on the challenge of running a marathon. Establishing a buddy system is crucial for someone with HIV.
Try to find a special buddy, or two. Your buddy can check how you are doing, make sure you are drinking enough water and eating enough carbohydrates, and help you deal with aches along the way.
Medicine doses need to fit into your training and eating schedule. The most important thing is that you routinely take your meds on schedule throughout the week, and minimize any risk of developing drug resistance.
