Running long in Zanzibar
Building the long run
Long runs work best on continuous, uninterrupted terrain. Barabara za mjini, njia za bustanini na nyuso mchanganyiko za jiji. Plan water stops in advance — most of these routes pass drinking fountains or shops, but not reliably in the outer sections.
Marathon and half-marathon blocks
Progress the long run by no more than 10–15% per week, and keep one route constant so you can compare weeks honestly. Repeating a loop twice is usually easier to fuel than a single point-to-point.
