  • Got seville Marathon in a about 5 weeks. Few teething issues!

    shin splints not too bad, but still there a bit. if I press the side of my leg around my shin it is a very sharp pain like I'm being stabbed. Training not going amazingly

    Also getting massive headaches the day after my long runs at the weekend. ran 26km yesterday in about 2 hours 30 and my head isn't good today. Never been one to use hydration assistance - have had pints of water after

    not sure if my shorts (which i love, ron hill ones) are getting worn or what but I feel like i've just been on a week long cycle tour with an uncomfortable saddle

  • Never been one to use hydration assistance - have had pints of water after

    Then start...?
    it's not just water you're losing, it's salts etc.

  • Shin Splints: I had some which became stress fractures. Could barely walk or stand. One minute fine, the next…it felt like my leg was broken, then back to normal.
    I found I could ride a bike to maintain endurance while my legs healed.

  • So we’ve established you’re not hydrating during runs - are you fuelling? I ran my first marathon last October and was shocked a just how many gels I had to take on to fuel adequately. You should be fuelling your long training runs how you plan to fuel your marathon to familiarise yourself with race nutrition.
