Right then. My wife and I ( I've just got married ) are doing our first marathon in November which means the big push starts now including the Robin Hood half on Sunday. We've just gone back to work and with the training we're feeling pretty tired. The long runs are scheduled in for about three
weeks time. I'm feeling a little fatigued and probably a bit dehydrated ! Is this normal and what should I be expecting over the next few weeks ? Lots of sleep and taking it easy between runs ?

Beleive it or not I've not had too much alcohol but life does seem to be a little hectic at the moment with all sorts of little jobs to get done and adjustements to make.
Oh, and by the way, congratulations!
When you say November - beginning or end?
When you say "longs runs scheduled in for 3-4 weeks time" how far are you running at present and what do you call a long run?
How much running are you doing at the moment?

Marathon is beginning of Nov, it's the NY which with jet lag etc should be quite tiring.
I had a bulging disc a few weeks ago and still being careful I'm up to about half marathon ( Robin Hood on Sunday I hope )
Our long runs will be a 15 miler and then up to 20 -22 about two to three weeks before Nov 3rd. We've been training now for a few months but the disc problem set me back a bit. Fingers crossed I will be ok from here in. The RH will be a " marker " for the Marathon so I intend to take it easy and not get carried away with the event. I'll be happy to get round in 2:15.
Thanks again.
