Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Jaffa cakes count as carb loading, yes?

Yes, but four days before the race its gluttony, not tactics.

I'm having the taper of my life. I've now had a cold for ten days. However, to add to that, last night I woke myself up because I'd stretched my right leg out in my sleep only to have the most goddawful pain in the calf! Could still feel it this morning. Seems OK now.

I can't be the only person ever to injure themselves in their sleep a week before a marathon, though, right?

Careful DeeGee, I have had something like that before. Gentle stretching and rollering if you can.

Weather report:
BBC: Cloudy, 8-14 degrees, 15mph southerly wind.
Metcheck: Fair, 15 degrees, 10-17mph southerly.

Seems to be improving (a little) wind-wise, but the temperature's creeping up a little too high for my liking!

I just found a weather report that had it as 18 degrees on Sunday. Somewhat OTT I think.

Johnny, I've only had one jaffa cake so far. I will not have another. Honest. Really, I won't.

Re: carb loading - anyone doing the depletion stage, or are you all just planning on stuffing your faces?! Any high-carb foods that are your favourites? My "must have's" are lots of toast with (marmite or peanut butter), dried fruit, pasta (obv) and a greek rice dish called pilafi. I also love curries, but not the day before the race.

No benefit to depletion, and none to stuffing either. Just cut protein and increase carb for two days before is what I am told.
