why don't you join the RW support gtoup at
mudchute at mile 17 . . .
see this website or this thread.
I dont want to put on weight for the run cos itll surely slow me down!
Over the last few months you should have had a steady diet of Carbs which you normally burn off in your runs. You should keep your meals at the same level and don't overload.
You should never feel bloated after a meal (very easy with pasta), little and often is the general rule. Also cheese sauce with your pasta is harder to digest, tomato based sauces are best.
By now you should be feeling a wee bit heavy legged as your muscles store up for the big day...I feel so lethargic. This will wear off as you get a couple of miles under your belt on Sunday.
spoke to nutritionist yest, she says 1 v carby meal a day is enough and avoid things that are very fatty and sugary. i'm on porridge and banana for bf, normal sarnie for lunch and a stodgy dinner - good luck hon!
ok higo and michael - see u at around 8 on sun then i'm no. 37100 with children with leukaemia shirt and my name on it.
ahhh really am going mad, can't concentrate at all, been really bubbly all day, then i just randomly fell into deep sleep. i've got to calm down - so much for no alcohol i'm gonna have to have a wine tonight!
Can't say i feel much different - have not put any weight on - maybe I'm not eating enough!
sorry - not much help!
Just want to get on with it now.
Cant wait to get started.
Being a Scot I love the stuff...I'm interested to know what you guys take with it.
I put salt in while cooking and milk and salt on top
I'm a honey man with pumpkin seeds on top by way...
Shortie - what you up to on the day fancy meeting up too?
Catch u later.. Off to register now - yay! probably gonna wind me up even more - ahhh. can't think of anything else ...
See ya

New here, looking also to do in sub 4 hrs which is a little optomistic this being my first marathon in fact first race of any type since shool...!
I think this is possible though ?
anything is possible - if you have been following
some kind of training plan you should have some
idea of what you might manage.
Yes I have ben following a charities plan which seemed fine but for me constantly falling asleep after every run, surely not normal ?
to repair itself . . .
if you have managed a 20 mile run in about 3
hours then a 4 hour marathon is possible . . .
anything seems to be magnified at this stage.
The local tv news marathon special waether forecast
finished with the words 'if you can manage about
four hours you should be dry, slower and you
can expect to get wet'. Another incentive ;-))
Just a quick note to wish you all "good luck" for Sunday. Sounds like the weather will be a bit better than last year.
Enjoy it! It's a great feeling!
Cheers,
JTS
great to hear from you, how's the injury?
I'd like to thank-you for your support when I first joined this thread.
Best wishes.

I am doubtful about getting sub 4, but Mr Billie is aiming for that. I will be pleased to get around 4.15 but we'll wait and see.
Its been a relatively problem free preparation and being able to raise money for a good cause has made it all worthwhile.
I hope everyone "enjoys" the day and dont forget to appreciate and acknowledge what you have all acheived as you cross the finish line. Have a good one!!
Your'e welcome!
The injury's lingering a bit but I'm off to get my gait scanned this morning so hopefully some custom orthotics will sort things out. I've got a year to prepare for the 2006 race... ;-)
Have (and. hopefully, get) a great time!
Cheers,
JTS
