Thanks all ... its lovely getting different peoples input and how they have done it... the main goal has got to be getting over that finish line it might be the only time I get to do London so I just do not want anything getting in the way of it :)

Thank you all.... I did run a marathon last year and loved it...I just know if I lose a few lbs it will be less harsh on my joints etc.... and it makes me feel so much better energy wise,I do need to do core work and got a yoga dvd to start doing and investing in a cross trainer to do on my *rest* days! ..I think im…

Thank you ... you so can do one.. just a bit of self belief and determination :)

Thanks :) will do some searching ! :)

I run, on average 4 times a week and got my first marathon in April.Feel free to add me :)

Im in to please :)

You have all been great thank you, I am reading through the posts and taking on board the advice..I will follow mfp or I might end up confused on what im doing, ,so i will eat back alot of my calories burned and change my settings to lose a lb a week then as suggested drop it to 1/2...... :)

Once I hit December the mileage will increase slowly week by week .The days I dont run should I eat a lower amount or should I…

I have tried gels a couple of times unfortunately they leave me needing an emergency loo stop lol I done a half in September and I had some jelly beans along the way, but thinking about it and what you all have said If i had fueled better to start with it might have been easier :)

Ok will up the calories..Thank you, it helps to get the advice....I am used to running 5/6 when i'm getting the higher mileage 8 and over I am getting tired quick,especially in the legs...furthest I have run recently is just over 13 and that wasn't easy so really need to learn to fuel better :)

I wear a garmin but no hrm on it ,just my own settings etc entered into it... I was going to up the calories once I had lost that stone and start eating some of the exercise calories back, was just trying to give myself a kick start. :)
