HI everybody
I am now retired and want to run a marathon. I am 64+ and have been training on my own for past 11 weeks. I can run to day for 35 minutes and cover up to 4 miles. I am a vegetarian and besides Pasta and Fruits and Jacket potatoes is there any thing else that I can add. Weight wise I only weigh 51KG. I have never run before but I do quite a bit of Yoga and Meditation to keep my self fit.
I personally have targeted to complete the half Marathon in three hours or so and Flora Marathon in 6 hours.
Please give me any tips that can help me not to give up as week by week I am feeling little bit down as I am not been able to cover more miles.
Some times I find it tough to go on but so far I have not given up.
Cheers
Flora
