That's what I feared! Much prefer the raspberry one but have trained with a variety just in case

Hi

I know there are lucozade sport stations on VLM, but does anyone know what flavour they give out?

Hi

I'm running London marathon in April (first marathon) and am worried about being undertrained, but I don't know if I am or not? Or if I should be doing something different in the next couple of weeks before taper.

As with everyone else I have a busy life and so this has been my rough schedule up to now:

Mon - boot camp (mix of cardio and resistance work, lots of squats and lunges)
Tues- rest or run approx 6 miles
Weds - rest or boot camp (depending on if rested on tues)
Thurs - running club (alternate weeks of either 7ish miles or speed work session)
Fri -rest
Sat- long run (built up from 10 to 20. Last few have been 15,16,18,20). 20 was today.
Sun - rest

So, I feel ok having done the 20M today (although it was quite tortuous past 16M) but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what to do midweek? Would a few 10-12 milers help over next few weeks?

I know it's better to be undertrained than go too mad, I guess I'm after some experienced people to help me work out a balance? Thanks

You're definitely not alone Katie and Sally - I'm panicking too!

I honestly don't know how people fit 4-5 runs/week around normal life. I'm lucky to manage 3/week around work and family. I'm lucky to have avoided injury so far, but keen to keep in that way. Did 20 miles today which was torture after about 15
