I am doing the VLM on 21st April - so far so good with training. Have been following a 16 week training programme (have done half marathons before but never a full marathon) going out 3 times during the week (this week its 5miles, 8 miles and 5 miles) and then a long run each weekend. Have done 16 miles so far (and its starting to feel a really long way!). I have 3 more long runs (17, 18 and 20) and then I start tapering down.
Just looking for any tips for the day? Did you have energy drinks / food etc going round? Did you hit the so-called wall? Is it relatively flat? Any tips on pacing? I'm running between 9 and 10 min miles so not particularly quick, just wanting to get round and raise some money for charity .
Thanks
