Thanks guys

I wont take the credit for running a marathon, its a mere half marathon, 13.1 miles, feeling all 2miles I ran last night also, incredibly unfit but seriously determined. off to buy an iPod to distract me whilst running, I've always hated running but found it quite therapeutic last night...I may have even convinced our fabulous receptionist at work to join me too on my mad 13.1 mile conquest lol

Please PM me if anyone is feeling generous and would like to sponsor me and donate money to the Blue Cross x

You MAD person!! Running! Who enjoys running? Or sees the attraction?! I admire anyone who runs more that a few yards!!!

Loads of luck for your marathon!

Go out immediately and buy a copy of "The complete Idiot's guide to Jogging and Running" by Bill Rodgers. I'm reading it at the moment and he has inspired me to start a training program. He covers all the diet stuff,training, stretching, running gadgets (such as heart rate monitors) as well as specific advice for marathon training. By the way, congrats on entering a half-marathon.Hope you do well in it

I put a link up here before for running for beginners, its a great programme and easy to follow, and you are not utterly exhausted afterwards or sore the following day.

I will see if I can find it for you

No advice sorry! Not keen on running, can't do it due to high impact on my knees much prefer to swim or cycle!

GOOD LUCK!
