I also have a FREE Facbook community where friendly runners share their daily exercise. / mhhealthandfitnesscommunity
In this video I discuss how to get yourself through the taper and what you can do to prepare for your marathon.
Is there anything else you like to do during the taper? Is there anything else you would add to the race day checklist below? Please let us know in the comments, and, for everyone running a marathon soon, enjoy it and do your best. Good luck.

Race day checklist
Please note - this is not a comprehensive list. It makes a good starting point but no responsibility can be accepted for any random items you require… or you forgetting your race shoes!
Here are some of the things you could think about taking with you on the day:
• Clothes! Everything you plan to wear from underwear out, including race number and safety pins. You could also put your name on your top so that you get more crowd support on the way round!
• Warm things to wear pre race (and then give to charity) - including top, trousers and possibly even old shoes, especially if its raining (but don’t forget to bring the race ones with you!!)
• Bin bag if its raining (with hole cut in for head!)
• Phone
• Gels (and water if you are carrying it)
• Watch
• Pace band
• Vaseline / body glide (although you may choose to apply before you leave home!)
• Sunglasses
