er not sure if im writing this in the right place??!
im training for my first half marathon in october and following the intermediate hm plan. I try to eat well and sleep enough. Although I am meant to cycle 10.5miles to work and then 10.5m home again 5 times a week. Quite often I am shattered and my legs feel dead. Especially walking up stairs at work. Is there any advice on diet, or exercise which could help? Ive been jogging and cycling on off for 10 years. Just starting eating meat after 19 years too- which I though would help with fatigue! Oh I drink lucozade on 10mile runs- Ive told myself it helps!?? byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
If your legs feel dead, you're most likely doing too much too often, so you never give yourself a chance to recover. I'd take a few days' complete rest, and then put extra rest days into your regular routine
People seem to forget that training days break down your muscles, and rest days allow them to repair and get stronger. Insufficient rest just breaks them down more and more.

Yes, as women can't normally wait to get home, so it usually results in alleys, stairs, shop doorways etc. It's a tough life.
Some days I just feel like I have an answer for everything.
Kaz what are you trying to say?
easy one for starters
Why do some football teams have square corner flags and other triangles?

No Samantha, you're not in the right place
If you've got a question about training look on the "training" threads.
