EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED

Long distance runners' diets are usually high in carbs. I know a couple who swear by their B12 and B Complex injections for energy.

OK THANX I'LL GIVE IT A TRY, IT'S WORTH A SHOT, RIGHT?

hmm, something sounds fishy here.

Nothing fishy about it... just need a little help

I just don't understand how you could have finished 3 comrades marathons I would have though you would understand something about nutrition and training.

I'm not the best person for this type of help, but I know a few people that have run half marathons and ate correctly.

Ok, lets start off, why are you struggling to train and why did you pull out, cramps?

What do you have to do to qualify, run a 21km or half a marathon? 3 weeks is pushing it to try anything new when is comrades again? what are you trying to achieve, extra endurance / more oxygen ? What is your bodyfat?

Please give us as much info as possible so others can try to help. I don't believe supplements are what you need, maybe some protein and fish oils even some glutamine for recovery but you can't use any funny stuff that might show up if you get tested.
