  • @Greenbank ah crap, just saw your later post, which probably nullifies my last one. Hope your leg gets better soon and good luck with the London marathon in April. I'm doing the Paris one on the 14th and not looking forward to it!

    Talking of which, quick question for all the experts out there... when training for the marathon, in terms of the long runs, is it time on your feet or distance which is more important? That is, when I'm increasing my weekly long run, should I be trying to go X miles further each week (currently, about 3 miles) or increasing the time (e.g. 30 minutes longer each week)? Probably too late to actually be asking this question as I'm already up to 17 miles (3:20 last Sunday) and there's not that long to go, but it's a question I've been pondering for a while now...

    Thanks! And happy running all :)

    There is a useful vid on this here:

  • Thanks. I just watched the video - and have to say it makes a lot of sense! Training for a 10k and you do 2 miles a day.... Training for 100m and you do a max of 30m. And then, training for 26m and you have to do 20m?! I'm convinced :)
