catch them if you can

Trainers, check. Vaseline, check. Tired limbs: check, check, check.

Our very own Nikki, Nicky, Ceri & Eloise are feeling a touch motivated and very charitable. You see they're running the London Marathon and need to raise £6000 for WellChild along the way. Wellchild is a fantastic charity, have a look for yourself: www.wellchild.co.uk

They're going to keep us up to date with running tips - like how to avoid the deep puddles and whether lycra is better than cotton, should be good. The fab four would also love you to write in with any tips, or - if you'd like to sponsor them, well that would be absolutely fantastic and will help them on their way to raising £6000 for Wellchild.

Here's to 26.3 miles, WellChild and sports bras. Check out their sponsorship form here: www.justgiving.com/innocentladies

Good luck.

Tips - Do not, I repeat do not skip the weekend long training runs.

Run in the week to build up fitness for a long run on the weekends, getting longer over the next few months.

Do nothing for the last week, and very little for the last fortnight.

Start slow, and slow down. If you still feel good at 25 miles, you can start sprinting.

It's a great experience - good luck!

Good Luck - glad to be the first to help! You are all much braver/energetic than i am!

Most of all HAVE FUN!

Don't run in scarves and fashinable pointy shoes. And eat bananas. That's what I reckon.

During the race wear a T-shirt with your name on, the crowd will then shout 'personalised' encouragment at you.
