So now it is March at last and I am on the toughest leg of the training program. The milage for these three weeks is the highest I have ever done- about 40. On Sunday I ran a 22 miler, and for the first time I really felt that I could finish the whole marathon distance without collapsing. I have found out that in order to do this I need to eat LOADS of pasta and rice for 2 days beforehand, and swallow lots of energy gels whilst running. Also making sure I drink about 2 litres of water on the way round. Plus I will need to completely rest for 2 days before the race. Mind you, it is still 4 weeks before we go to Paris, so I don't want to get ahead of myself. There are 2 more long runs to do, as well as the Yeovil half marathon on 24th March. In fact running seems to have taken over my life for the time being!
