Rest is also the key for me. But it"s a tricky business. I need to get the miles in, and need to increase the number of miles I run in a week - but at the same time I can"t increase it too quickly as I need to take days off for rest/recovery, and also if I increase the mileage/speed that I run, then the recovery will take longer and I"ll be increasing the risk of injury as well. I don"t want to get an injury before London.

Think the maximuscle createmax is the only real solution here as it will mean less rest time + more endurance. Agree its v expensive tho.
Given its for chartity and the time you make may not increase cash probably better to donate the money to the charity instead.
Sod the ice baths, cold shower wont do anything other then smash up pecker! Bag of peas more productive

Went out this morning for an 8 mile run. After 3 miles, I start to feel a pain in a toe on my left foot. I decide to finish after 4 miles, expecting to see some rubbing on my toe or something.
Nope. I take my shoe off, and the end of my sock is red from blood. A small stone, barely visible had managed to get into my sock and had wedged itself between my toes. After I"d cleaned the blood away, there"s nothing to see except a minor scratch. Bloody annoying though.

No pain - no gain eh
Really admire you for this Dan, I could never do it even when younger - so hats off -- just do it in the time and get those double/treble ups as well

Yes, the pressure"s on now from those promises of what they"ll donate if I do it in under 4 hours, or under 3 hours 45 minutes, or even bloody 3 hours 30 minutes.
Anyway, I got some new running shoes today.

Will be trying them out tomorrow morning.
The ones I already have are fairly light, but these are like slippers (but easier to run in).
I got a running magazine thrown in with my trainers, and was just flicking through it and reading about Haile Gebrselassie"s marathon times (his world record is 2hrs 3mins 59secs!) - and they are frighteningly quick. He always has a smile on his face as well - even when he had to drop out of the London Marathon a year or two ago.
In the same magazine I was reading about Nell McAndrew. She"s an excellent marathon runner - her PB is something like 3hrs 10mins. So she"s wayyyy quicker than me - and far better looking as well. She did it in 3hrs 22mins last year so if she"s running it this year and looking at a 3hrs 30min time, she might be my ideal pacemaker...
