Hello 👋 I’m Vicky I’m new here so not really sure how this works but wanted to find somewhere I can get advice/support as training for my first marathon next year ( London ) so any tips or pointers would be amazing!!  I ran my first half marathon this year and loved it - although I was in terrible pain after for about 2 days! I run roughly 10 miles a week at present and I’m starting a 20 week programme tomorrow which will involve 2 strength training sessions weekly and 3 runs - 2 short and one longer run of 8/10 miles. I’m feeling so excited about London but also slightly terrified as I haven’t done anything like this before ( other than childbirth that is!!)

it was my 40th this year and has always been in my bucket list, so I’m ready to put in the hard work! Any tips would be gratefully received. Thanks V
