Running the London Marathon (40km!)

[Darren]

I certainly need my brains testing, I have just started the training and its killing me... Anyone done anything similiar? Any tips?

In desperate need guys.

I ran the London Marathon about 8 years ago and it nearly killed me LOL

Best advice i can give you is to start out slowly and only try to run a mile a day, any more than that and you actually do more harm than good to your body.

After around a month you should be able to run a mile within 6 minutes easily

Been training for 4 days now... and started off with a mile and slowly increasing.... SLOWLY being the right word. How long did you train for LEE?

[Lee]

Frm what i recall it was about 3-4 months prior to the actual run itself.

The secret is making sure that without fail you run a mile EVERY day regardless of what the weather is like
