I always wanted to do a 22 mile run & did it today in 3:45. The furthest I have ever run! I could not have left it any later as there are only 27 days left before the marathon! So now I have the stamina (i've done a 19 mile & a 20 mile in addition to this) so need to concentrate on being able to run 10 minutes miles to reach my target of 4:30. Time will tell.
I ran the Brighton Marathon training group's route a day earlier as it was a very interesting one. I was surprised to see Sarah (Brighton Marathon organisation) & Steve (Marathon trainer) checking out the route in the bicycles! Here is the route I ran.
I promised to write a bit about Carbo loading. Well running anaerobically using glycogen is the most efficient way of using energy. So before a run & after a run its important to carboload. Select food that have a high Glycogen index to benefit more.
I also bought a pair of "Skins" they are supposed to help reduce the build up of lactic acid in your body by reducing the vibration on the muscles. I felt great running in them although they cost the earth to buy!!
