Thanks for the info. 1:22 with cramp must be some sort of record. I felt such a plum rubbing my leg, limping and waving away the St Johns! The crowd at the Great North Run were amazing though and kept me going. Crap is not nice though. Looking for...

In the dim and distant past, I just ran everywhere as fast as I could. I was young and stupid, knew nothing of running, but it got me a 1'22" time in the half. Now, many years, and many pounds, and many injuries later, I'm attempting the RHM and ...

I've always suffered from cramp - it seems to be a hereditary thing as I, my Dad and my Nan have a history of cramp. Over the last couple of years I've been taking magnesium (currently "Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc" from Holland & Barrett) aft...

On Friday last week I spent 8 hours on Skype with Nick Anderson from Full Potential, developing a series of 5 marathon training programs for the Spring. Apart from feeling as though I'd actually run a marathon by the end of it, the session really...

I ran RHM this year in a time of 1:52 - which I was pleased with. I ran the Great North Run and had an attack of cramp which I have never had even in training, and finished after limping the last 3 miles in 2:18. I did have an upset stomach two w...

Hi Lisa, great post as I'm sure that this is something that will be an issue for many runners out there. If you're on a real time budget you need to make sure that every mile of every run counts. You've got your long run covered at the weekend w...

Hi Dave, well done with your weight loss so far, and great question about how your pacing. My advice would be to judge your pace by intensity, or "rate of percieved exertion". This is how hard you feel you are working, on a scale of 1-10. Your lo...

I did the Reading 09 as my first half this year, and have since done a few more and the Berlin Marathon so I'm confident I can do the distance, however I am slow. I can often only fit in 30-40 mins of training during the week, plus my long run at ...

Hi George, I'm trying to couple RHM training with weight loss, and I have a question about target pacing. I'm losing weight with a 2000 calorie/day limit (I'm eating whatever I want up to that limit - simplest diet imaginable) and at the same ti...

Hello Nicky. I started running 2years ago and 1year in stopped for various personal reasons and couldn't imagine starting again. But after a lot of weight gain and loss of confidence I started again in July very gradually. I am now running about 6...

Hey Nicky, What happens in training and what happens in the race are never quite the same thing. You can prepare the best you can, but when the big day comes around it can still go either way. With regards your perception of the effort at this y...

Hello, I did reading half marathon this year as my first half. I trained quite hard and was pleased when 3 weeks before the race I did 12.5 miles in 1hr.58 because I thought the extra support/excitement on the day would make me get round in 2hrs ...
