Except by then you can’t, because you’re dead broke

Instead of “going to 10” this arithmetic uses smaller mods, but is otherwise the same. Consider the difference place-value “rolling over” at some amount less than 10 and your intuition will take care of the rest

It entirely depends on the workout. Unless you are burning through all your carbs via max effort or sustained effort, you don’t need to replenish. Your body can do 90-120 minutes of work at a moderately elevated heart rate before needing to refuel. Only extreme/extended workouts need carbs/electrolytes.

Train around a functional benefit. Strength normalized for mass/volume is a relevant goal for e.g., cyclists, especially in upper body where bicycle control requires strength, but the extra mass cuts into the max sustained speed the legs can push for extended periods

You’ll increase your distance to a little less than marathon-distance over the two months leading into your event, and there are myriad mileage plans you can read, but they’re all similar. Listen/read Phil Maffetone for more on low-intensity, and don’t over-complicate your plan.

If you do much high intensity, your body will get too fatigued to sustain the large quantity of low-intensity training required. So that means as much running time at a conversational pace (i.e. you can chat) pace as your body can handle. It’s way slower than you would think, at first

Rewind to highschool bio and remember those 2 energy systems in your muscle cells that make ATP: glycolysis = 2 ATP; Krebs/mitochondria makes 34…much more efficient. You need to train the low-intensity system that makes the 34, and the only way to do that is a huge volume of low-intensity exercise.
