Marathon Training and Nutrition

Welcome to the glorious world of marathon training and marathon nutrition. With the correct training, running a marathon can be an inspiring experience but it all begins months before with proper training and proper nutrition. On a regular basis I'll be writing about my own marathon training and my own marathon nutrition as I train and prepare for my next marathon.

About Me

Billy Milton: United Kingdom; At 50 you might think that its time to hang up the old running shoes. You'd be wrong, in fact its only in my mid 40's that I really got into this demanding sport at all. Fortunately my wife and my Jack Russell terrier also enjoy running so we can often be found as a trio pounding the towpaths beside the local canal. I have to hold my hand up and admit that I'm not as fit as I used to be but I'm healthier now than at any stage in my life. I'll tell you how later. Join me as I prepare to run the Luton Marathon in December 2007 and share my joys and pain (seems like more pain than joy these days!)
