Hi all

Andy_83

Heya all,

Joined Myfitnesspal as I’m doing the London marathon and have realised I'm rapidly running out of time before the big event.

Any handy tips on marathons from folk more in the know than me would be great. I doubt the current nutritional plan of eat whatever I’ll probably burn it off is quite what the sport scientists would suggest.

If your in the Marshall Street Gym in central London feel free to say hello/chuckle to yourself if you see me wheezing on the treadmill

I'm far from a marathon runner but wanted to say good luck, Andy

Hi Andy
I would love to run a marathon one day - well done for going for it. But.............isn't it a bit late to be asking about prep - I thought the London Marathon was in April............2011!! How did you get your place? Is it a charity place or did you get lucky in the ballot?

Best of luck and I look forward to seeing how you do.

Cheers MissTom.

Thankfully not too disorganised Alison, started training back in Jan just not really working to a structured plan. Hopefully my fitness should be there come the day (you're right it's in April) but still open to any tips I might not know about with it being my first one.

Got in via a charity place, running for Arthritis Research UK http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AndyHortor if anyone feels the cause is close to them and would like to donate.

Thanks for the good luck wishes as well Alison
