  • I've lost all my running mojo the last couple of weeks. Constant little niggly injuries and my legs feel like lead when I try and get going. When I started this plan I was working as a labourer carrying stone and muck all day and felt ten times better. Frustrating.

    Tell me its normal for a first marathon?

  • Yes it is a common feeling, most marathon build ups are constantly pushing your limit between managing and overtraining, so niggles etc are common, the more you do it the more you learn when to back off and when to htfu.

    Quite often the lead feeling passes after a while so it's worth sticking to a session as you will probably find after 10-15 minutes you actually feel quite good!
