Only one day to go until 2026 London Marathon!!
Here are some last minute tips to help you on the 🏃‍♂️ Marathon Day

✔️ Don’t try anything new
Stick to your usual shoes, kit, and nutrition.

✔️ Warm up lightly
5–10 mins easy jog + dynamic moves (not long stretches).

✔️ Start slower than you feel
Your future self will thank you at mile 20.

✔️ Fuel & hydrate early
Don’t wait until you feel depleted.

✔️ Run tall, stay relaxed
Drop your shoulders, keep your stride easy.

✔️ Listen to your body
Discomfort = normal. Sharp pain = don’t ignore it.

✔️ Keep moving at the finish
Walk it off, rehydrate, refuel.

Growth isn’t always about blooming. Sometimes it’s about resting, adapting and finding small ways to keep going — even in the middle of a storm.

If today feels heavy, you’re not alone in that. And if all you did was make it through, that’s still something to be proud of. 💚

Using a small amount of support during exercise can really help with balance and confidence. As your strength and stability improve, gradually reduce how much support you use to keep challenging yourself and progressing 💪

Adapting your workout to suit you is key!

Some days can be different and you may want to adjust the support you need. If that means using a chair, lying down or holding onto something, then that's okay 🌟
