Last week of training

Now here's a good guide

Few days before the London Marathon!

I've not updated in a long time? What?
Anyways, preparations for the London Marathon have been far from ideal what with work and everything. In summary, I've been running a bit slower than the last couple of years but I've put on a stone since the last marathon. The last run I did totalled to about 14 miles plus about 3 or 4 miles walking and that was 2 weeks before Sunday's marathon. I walked into London (18 miles) a few weeks back.

Recently I've supplemented my running with swimming and some very light gym/cardio work. It's a shame I'm not doing a triathlon really (which will be my new long-term goal)

I'm resting up now and really need to find some pasta soon. Drinking enough water for now. But I need carbs!

I need new running shoes. There's a few guide out there including at Runners World and the Running shoe guru. But it seems a bit confusing particularly as overpronation is supposedly associated with flat feet. However, the outer soles on my shoe collection are wearing on the outside and not on the inside! This is in fact supination
