Hi Southport, I had my first ever Sport Massage 3 weeks ago and found it soooo painful and that was without injuries!! Debating whether to go for another one this week, as I can claim the cost back!
I've not run all week - I've come down with a Viral Infection and a cluster of coldsores!! I never realised the effect tapering can have on your body!! Fingers crossed I'll be OK for next Sunday.
Thanks SJPC14 for those encouraging words. This too is my first ever Marathon and I do struggle with the 'mind bit'. I just hope I can keep going!! See you all there.
I just wanted to say you'll be fine running the Marathon if you think you could run 15 miles already. I run for a local club and can only currently run 10 miles and I have been informed by coaches I'll be fine and won't need to start properly training till July. You won't be on your own either! I think it will take me about 41/2 - 5hrs.
