Hey everyone. I'm running the New York Marathon in just over three weeks time for the MS society. It's my first marathon and it's been quite a challenge so far! (I did the clarendon half marathon yesterday which is pretty much uphill all the way.)
I've splashed out on some decent running shoes and some expensive running socks which have really made a difference and the socks especially have stopped my feet from hurting after long distances. I've worked out a 20 mile run for myself next week and then I'm winding down and doing little distances often before the big race. It's not about the time for me, it's about getting round and the experience.
Does anyone else have any marathon experience? Do they have any words of wisdom or advice to impart? I'm sort of nervous but I'm also really excited. The experience is going to be fantastic.
