help!

I've got one month to train for a 13.1 mile run.

I've had a new job, working away etc etc and have sooo left it to the last minute.

anyone got any good advice at what sort of training I should do (distance and frequency) to get ready for it.

i can do 7 mile in one go but that nearly kills me lol and takes 50 mins.

any advice muchly appreciated!! oh and any food good etc for endurance?

 

Whenever I go, I eat a small meal of carbs 2 hours before starting and have a few drinks of water up until an hour before.

Alternatively you could have 3 raw eggs in a milkshake every morning and listen to "eye of the tiger" a lot

Least you havent left it toooooo late! (I'd sponsor you if I had some money )
Best thing for running IMO is to always go with someone else! I dont think Id go more than a mile on my todd

 

im knackered!!

was well slow this morning! took me an hour to do the 7 mile.

had stitch and had to walk some parts - how do you overcome this?

or is it cos i'd ate about an hour before and drank a pint of water 5 mins before??

got go work on the car now

 

To avoid stitch try breathing slowly through your nose whilst running.

Nothing like leaving stuff till the last minute!

 

lol

I know!!

my sig used to read..... if it wasnt for the last minute nothing would ever get done! too true in my case! only dont think I can do a 2am night before training session!! lol

 

I tend to get stitches if I eat too close to going (see my times before, they are spot on ) also if I start with too much, IE long steep slope. If I just go on the flat at a peaceful pace for 15min or so then its all good

Bearing in mind im jogging not running though

 

me too!!

but it feels well fast as im not actually walking if my feet leave the ground!

 

you knows it!
