Getting started
With increased miles everybody is feeling hungry. I`ve enjoyed trying 3 new recipes this week.... Get out your comfort zone
I can`t believe it`s already tuesday and 13 weeks before the marathon. I enjoyed my weekend of hard running and feel on top form... Enjoy Training
The nights are lighter and I'm loving the crisp blue skies and frosty mornings.
I feel so motivated and ready for anything. Heathly from the inside out
Focus on eating plenty of fresh, nutritious and warming food to help fight winter bugs and power you through our winter training... Keep Hydrated
Fluid for hydration & carbohydrate for energy are the most important elements to keep you going through training.... Keep motivated
Running in groups is a great way to push each other... Confidence boost
Training should feel focused and by now your confidence should be flying after weeks of dark, cold wintry runs. Treat yourself
Don't feel deprived. After a long run Tara treats herself to a skinny latte and a flapjack! Get up to speed
easy 5 mile runs at marathon pace make your goal pace feel like your natural rhythm and your body will tune into this... Pack on the protein
concentrate on eating healthily and packing your diet out with plenty of protein, nuts and pasta to sustain your weight... Less is more
Do not try to ramp up any last minute mileage. This will tire you and jeopardise your chance of achieving your personal marathon goal... The hard work is over
Any cross training should be low impact, yoga and swimming will keep those muscles stretched and help to avoid injury. Take it one step at a time
Control your pace from the start, you get your finishers medal for completing the final six miles not the first six. Have belief
Believe in the effort you have put into your training, push any doubts and anxieties out of your head.
