In the last year, I have run 486 miles (783km) in the build up to next week's London Marathon. Hopefully that marathon will push me over 500 miles! Queue the Proclaimers song:
Attempted a run home during the week but gave up about half way. I wasn't feeling it. Thanks my favourite bus for taking me home:
On Saturday, I did my last long run with the club as part of this year's marathon training. As we are in the Taper period we did only ten miles.As you can see, I have now got the vest for next week and is the way these days I have got my name printed on it. I tossed up whether to wear the Time & Talents Charity Vest or the Clapham Chasers vest - but I thought I have been training with the Chasers and I know a lot of them are coming out so support chasers - so hopefully they are more likely to recognise me if I wear a Chasers top.
So what's the plan this week ...???
To be honest, it is relatively relaxed. I think I just need to carb load and work out my strategy for the big day. I am going to be busy at work - but will try and get out once during the week followed by maybe 2 miles on Friday night. There's not a lot I can do now.
So I'll do a post or two next week before the big day ... to let you know how the final preparations are coming along.
Good luck tomorrow, just go out and enjoy it :) Remember, the crowds are there for YOU not the x thousand other runners !
