London Marathon Series Ep 3: Tapering Right, Carb Loading & Final Week Training
With just 12 days to go until the London Marathon, I joined Jumoké Fashola on BBC Radio London for Week 3 of our Marathon Build-Up Series – and it’s a must-listen for every runner getting race-day ready! 🏁🎙️
💬 This week’s big questions:
✅ What is tapering? And why “doing nothing” isn’t the answer.
✅ Should you still train? We cover gym work, mobility & rehab.
✅ Carb Loading: The science vs. the myths.
✅ Avoid The Wall: How to carb-load correctly based on your bodyweight.
Whether you're running your first marathon or your fastest, make sure you don’t undo months of training with last-minute mistakes.
