You’ll be great! You just need to expect the nerves and the worries etc. And you will glare at anyone ill near you; and you will think walking or running anywhere is suddenly dangerous in a way it’s never been. I’m going to try distraction as my way of getting through it. The other thing is your legs are likely to feel twitchy – you’re used to running lots of miles, and then you’re not! It’s all part of the process. Have a fab marathon day!!!

I’m glad it’s not just me. There’s definitely something weird about spending a day or two pretty much eating sugar and white pasta and white rice….. But on recovery, yep, choc milk is fab! If it’s going to take a while to get home, I’ll get a mocha. If closer, I’m now trying out some protein powders, the taste takes a little getting used to but seems to help. And wishing you a fab run this weekend – thankfully it will be a little cooler than it was yesterday! Let me know how you get on!

I force myself to eat when I don’t feel hungry and I just does not feel right. Additionally I cannot eat after running – I feel sick. So I just make sure I have a chocolate milk to hand to have straight after. It usually tides me over until I can eat again.

Attempting the 20 miles again this weekend. Before starting the taper!
