possible 18 mile run?

today i got a dq in a swim event cause uneven wall touch because i forgot i have 1 arm thats signifigantly longer than the other, so if i swim rly good 2morrow im only running 10 miles, if i do average 15 miles, and bad 18 miles, but since i swim and started running last year i think im going to end up puking at around 12-14 and collapse, so i have backup where my freind puts dog whistle sounds in my ear and if i collapse, beats me up and throws me back on run track? so since i dont want to have to suffer the health consequences of that, any tips for not puking or collaping in 18mile run? what to eat b4 or what to do?

Update:

dq means disqualified and this is a sereous question

    If your not in shape to run that 18 miles then get in shape to do so. Train your body. Like you said I would start at 5 then work my way up and if that's to easy then add a little more. REMEMBER you need to let your muscles recover after this so don't go work your lower body muscles that hard the next day, work on upper body strength.

    You puke because your not in shape and your body isn't use to that.

    Do not eat oranges or drink orange juice. The acids can not always but can upset your stomach. Breads or pastas...grains stick with you longer. So do eggs...I'd try an Egg McMuffin...homemade. Muffin and egg, (ham, and cheese....optional)

    lol I was a protracted dis. runner in top institution (no longer satisfactory however first rate) while your coaching run farther than two miles attempt to stand up to three or extra if u can, additionally run 5x every week alternating the space you run. Day one shorter dis. day 2: longer dis, Day three shorter dis than two however longer than a million. and so forth. If u teach making use of longer dis. then you definitely construct ur staying power, so while u run two miles you can be competent to run it quicker w/ ur newfound power. good that is what labored for me anyhow
