Hi, My foot gave out during the marathon last weekend - could it have been that my shoes were not supportive enough? It seems fine now? Anyone had a similar experience? x Sam Deoends what you mean by "gave out" - I've had my share of foot (and

After being recommended by a friend that Slimfast shakes make a good recovery drink I have been downing one after each of my long runs. I find that I ache less the next day this year after 20 milers than I did previously, I am guessing
would be handy, I did have a couple of marathons planned for later in the year, but I guess I shall have to shelve them now......unless anyone has any magical recovery plans?? Take it easy with the recovery, I'd certainly put the marathon plans on hold
