Thanks for the advice i appreciate it. In the end week 3 and 2 before the marathon did 90 mile in total and took most of the last week of,f running 7,5 miles mid week and resting till race day . in the end i managed a 2:59:45 obviously im a bit chufed about!
Ran reasonably steady pased the 13mile at 1:25:30 so had paced my reasonably well ,though i had very rough time from 20 to 23 and a lot pased me ,maybe had i gone a bit slower i would have finished a bit sooner.
The bigest problem i had on the day was my stomach felt bolated and was burping throught the majority o the race by end of the race it was quiet bad,not to mention the fact that i was exhausted . Personaly i rekon the isotonic drink or gels must have been at falt
Th big question i have how much isotonic drink/gels do i need in a marathon whats the rate i need to be taking them in a race?
