Anyone from the forum running the marathon this year.

If so have they any information on how to prepare for a night in the park etc,what to eat last meal so to speak.

Heard a lot of spaghetti was good for energy,will there be venders there.

I have three friends in it but they are not clear on what to do,where to park a car for instance,

I,m not running just taking pictures,L.O.L.I.m not as keen as them.

I got the bus as near as I could to the park last time. I wouldn't take a car near it on the day.


Carbo loading is the way forward for the week before. Lots of pasta isn't a good idea. You can carbo load using energy drinks. There's loads of info on the net about how to do it and how much carbs you should be getting into you for the previous week.


I am running it this year!

I'm running a half marathon this weekend and a full marathon four weeks after that. I met with my nutritionist about what I should and shouldn't be eating with regards to a marathon and I won't be "Carb loading"...


I feel confident in my decision not to follow the majority of runners in this regard, after being inspired by two books - "Slow Burn" by Stu Mittleman and "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. Having never run more than 10K before, I'll have to keep you posted. But so far my training has reached 15.7 miles and I haven't had any problems with energy.


p.s. I do run REALLY slow....but I enjoy it!


p.p.s. For more details, see www.virginmoneygiving.com/tarynhauritz I have a blog, twitter and facebook (all for charity)

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
