After a 14 week training period I am now feeling tired and ache in my calfs. My long runs have hit 23 miles. Diet and alcohol are now coming up for being things to watch for as I need to keep my fuel intake as complex carbs, and lowering alcohol to a tapering amount with a three week dry period before the marathon.
To try to keep my enthusiasm up I am going to post my daily training and food/drink log:
