If I was to do chester marathon 3 weeks after the great north run when would my last LSR run be 4 or 2 weeks before Chester. Any advice please. Thanks in advance.

I enjoyed this run the scenery was lovely and varied which I liked. I thought there were plenty of toilets. A warm up at the beginning is always a good idea too it puts everyone in a good mood and adds a bit of atmosphere. I missed that!

I would say I could have done with a lucozade drink on course at some point rather than just water when I was tire'ing. There wasn't a lot of support either until the last 100 yards.

I got a PW but I did have a cold and just didn't have it in me to push myself.

Overall enjoyed it though & will hopefully be back next year

Thanks all! Thats what I thought listen to my own body, but people were saying I'm doing too much. I'll carry on and see how it goes as long as it doesn't affect my running.

I run 3 to 4 times a week, two 6 milers one 4 miler and one LSR of 10-13 miles as I'm training for the Liverpool Half in 3 weeks. I also swim twice a week 1 mile each time. For the past 3 weeks I have also started doing Body Combat once a week and Body Attack also once a week, with one day a week as a rest day where I do nothing.

Do you think I'm doing too much. I've felt fine mostly if a little tired at times as to be expected. Is it ok to exerise 6 days a week sometimes doing a run then a swim in the same day or a run then a exercise class. Any thoughts please. Thanks.
