Cheers Darren. Still very much learning ie. nutrition, getting the shoes right (after 17.8 miles today) etc – I love the fact I still have so much to learn! Happy running my friend!

Hi Gemma, thanks! The most important thing is to stick to your plan and stay injury free. Many folks will be doing 3 runs a week, with one of those being a long slow run. Others will be running 5 to 6 times a week and doing crazy miles! I’m certainly no expert but I do know the LSRs are the most critical – so perhaps a run of 18 to 20 miles – but make sure it’s 3 weeks or so before the marathon as you’ll then be going into tapering. Having said that, it’s important to not massively increase mileage in a week so rule of thumb is to increase by about 10%. I hope tonight goes well and enjoy the half – it’s a great way to practise what you’ll be doing on the day with pace, fuelling and hydration – let me know how you get on!

You are racking up the mileage. Should I be worried that I am usually around 20-25 miles for the week? I have 2x 4 mile runs, 2 spinning sessions and a Yoga class completed this week. Attempting a 8 mile run this evening, with a rest day tomorrow. Then on to North London Half Marathon on Sunday.
