."NUTRITIONPass on the extra carbsBread, bagels, pasta, potatoes and pancakes - you just can't get enough, right? Wrong, says sports nutritionist Nancy Clark, author of Nancy Clark's Food Guide for New Runners (£12.95, Meyer & Meyer Sport). Running two or three miles
training for their first marathon, the long run might start in the 10- or 12-mile range and gradually progress over several months to distances approaching 20 miles.Also, some race experience at the 10-mile and half-marathon distances can serve as dress

on the back of an envelope. In 1886 a British man, Walter George, ran a 4:12.8 mile. The mile record dropped by a little more than 13 seconds in the 68 years leading up to Bannister's 3:59.4. In the 50 years since Bannister, the record has dropped another 16.3

the key running muscles, joints and ligaments. Your easy pace is equivalent to your 5K race pace, plus 90 to 120 seconds per mile. (If you race 5Ks at eight-minute-mile pace, your EZ pace is 9:30 to 10:00-minute miles.)Run a weekly long run that amounts
