I am running the Brighton marathon on the 9th April so am getting into the really long runs. Have done 13,15,17,14 the last four weeks and have 20 to do this week.
My issue is that I am constantly exhausted! My legs feel done in the whole time. I am doing intervals plus one other 5ish mile run in the week and trying to fit in some strength training as well to help the body stay strong.
I am eating pretty well but haven't upped my calorie intake much apart from more carbs the day before the long run (and too many 'treats' at the weekend!)
Does anyone else feel like this? How do I give my body enough fuel and rest for the long runs over the next few weeks? Any tips?
