It's your chance to show some love! Junior is making me walk a marathon with her at the end of July to raise some money for Macmillan who, sadly, far too many of us have had to call on. At great personal stress I have set up an exclusive twtd just giving page (you are all I have!!) so don't let me down you lovely peeps....lefties, righties and the bits in the middle, do your worst!!
Anybody know if you need to train before walking 26 miles???

Find a pub 13 miles away. Walk there and back once a week. Training sorted.
A great cause you are doing it for bankster. Will certainly donate. [Post edited 13 Feb 2022 11:01]

| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Think you may have nailed it. Is The Ship at Dunwich any good do you know? | |

I walked a marathon 3 years ago. Started off doing 8 milers, then stepped up to 13.
Got to a point where I could 13 miles couple of times a week and then went for it.
I did have a ham and egg chips half way, that helped.
Serious point, you do need to fuel yourself to do that. Is it organised with fueling stations? If not, arrange somewhere to take some grub/liquids on as you go. Frequent and small is better than what I did.
Pork pies cut into quarters were used by some of the guys on the Lejog cycle ride. Every 20 mins they'd grab a mouthful... |  |

Thanks for the tips. It's this one, sounds like it will be a lovely route and all new to me. Says they have fuel stops too.

Do marathons need much walking? Can you not just let it run free around the estate? I was thinking of getting a snickers, but not if I have to walk it |  | | |

Get in touch nearer the time. I live within spitting distance of the end so happy to drive you back to the start or back home if that helps.
Should be nice and flat with more country meadow than roads/concrete paths which is a help on the knees / feet too.
They'll be on top of the fueling stations and have loads of tips too. | |

My footie pal (a die hard Blue and the reason I now have a season ticket) said they were invaluable after a particularly scary diagnosis dealing with a whole world of form filling that comes your way at the worst possible time, not to mention all the other stuff. | |

Top tip. Put one foot in front of the other 52,000 times and you’ll be fine. |  |

Very kind of you although it is still 5 months before my stroll. I will be sure to bounce it again nearer the time and let you all know how training/walking to various distant pubs is going. | |

Done.
I'm sure Phil or Gav can make it a sticky now for a week and then again nearer the time too. |  |

Thanks to you and everybody else that has donated already Steve. It was particularly lovely to see Newcy pop up (hope all is good with the twins btw  ) with a donation. I really thought that I would struggle to get to the £250 minimum contribution but you good people have smashed it. Sending you all some BDS love! | |

Nice one, BDS!
I’d just say take it slow, enjoy and make sure you have the shoe/sock combo to avoid blisters. |  |

I walked forty two miles in a day once but I was about thirty years younger then...although I drank more heavily in those days and was probably more unfit...there again I was married with two kids and the Lyke Wake Walk got me out of the house for the weekend...but you say you are walking this WITH your daughter. Brave man.
I was fine for the first thirty four miles but then it got dark and I wanted to give up, but as one of the last three of the dozen who had set off I was goaded on by the other two, bl00dy senior management. And there were no access points on the last eight miles to get to the support vehicle.
We did have a long lunch at The Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge and that, reinforcing Lagos's point, probably helped. I would advise getting a training regime in place so that you get used to walking, say ten miles or more, a couple of times a week. Having an outdoor job probably puts you at an advantage to others though. |  |
