It will help somewhat, but running is something else entirely (to state the obvious!). I'd plan to increase your carb intake on running days. I eat around 225 grams of pasta/rice on running days and I find that really helps with recovery.

Thats good advice actually, of course you of all people enjoys the pasta Sick Boy

I've really tuned in my diet with my weights the last 6 months and have noticed real real benefit tailoring carbs on my weights day.

Its going to be tough, but at least its something to occupy me.

I do single-leg strength work in the gym for running.

Single-leg-press being my current favourite.

Soon find out where your weaknesses are (in my case my right leg considerably weaker than my left..... not a surprise as i was a solely left-footer at football, then heavily left leg dominated at kickboxing)

Thats a good shout also.

My Leg day at the moment is very very basic.

Squatting, Leg pressing, Leg extension and leg curls.

May split the last 3 into single leg exercises.

5th place at a very warm Teignmouth parkrun this morning, 18.50. Ran in last seasons home top. Having a break from parkrun to do a trail 10k race next Saturday

Please don't do Weymouth parkrun. I take pride in always being the fastest finisher in a Cov shirt (pb only 20:17 and can't even get near that atm).*

*I think in the 328 I've ran I've only ever seen about 5 other Cov shirts but that's by the by.

Haha no I probably won't its a bit too far to travel for a Parkrun. I know some ex Longford lads living in Weymouth now but doubt they do any Parkruns. 328 parkruns is impressive, think I've done about 85 over 15 years!

Re marathon training i agree with previous comments about increasing your mileage slowly and steadily. I generally run about 30 miles per week in the summer but when I start marathon training in the Autumn I up it by maybe a mile a week until I'm in the low 50s. I try and get 50 miles plus in each of the last 8 weeks before the race and then I feel ready and confident. Though it doesn't seem to matter what I do....it always hurts like hell from about mile 18

Did Endure 24 in Leeds this weekend. Part of a team so got 6 laps in over the 24 hours, 30 miles which I'll take. If time would have allowed I'd have got more in but there's no denying...

The heat is a shocker! Also I don't ache from the running and getting out of a tent at 3am to run but my sunburn is the real pain!

I've been pressurised into doing the Northbrook 10km a week on sunday.

Have said i'll do it, but on condition that i'm "training through", will not drop any sessions or taper for it, and just treat it as a hard run.

In fact i'll probably run to the start (5 miles or so) and run home after. Will be an honest effort during the race, but not an all-out attack.
