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)

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
