Massively jealous of those doing the London marathon this week. I’ve targeted 2026 to do it. Enjoy it and as long as you’ve prepped for it you should smash it

Enjoy it. I ran it 3 years ago and I have never experienced anything like the atmosphere around cutty sark.Anyone doing London at weekend?
Butterflies are building in my stomach now
Just don't go and see a show on the evening - my wife had booked to see six the musical on the evening.
Those Victorian seats weren't built for someone who had just ran 26 miles.
Same, everyone goes in about tower bridge but for me the highlight was cutty sark, embankment and obviously the mall.[/QUOTE]

Thanks mate, no shows for me on the Sunday. I haven’t been drunk since New Years Eve so I’m getting smashed on Sunday afternoon

No wonder you feel ill I'm not sure a half marathon the day before a marathon is wise but good luck in both!Good luck all doing the London marathon tomorrow, I’m gonna have a crack after my 2nd half marathon tomorrow and the thought of doing it twice knocks me ill

Meant a second attempt at a half marathon. Hopefully I’m better at running than typing.

On that case, unless your in a position to raise over 2k for charity you're better applying every year instead of hanging on. I think it's currently around a 1 in 25 chance in the ballot now

It’s been the bedrock of my matchdays to keep me off the proper stuff. Can’t say I was overjoyed to be presented with a can of it at the end.

Both my Manchester marathons were so warm that the Erdinger was warm as well by the time I finished but I was so dehydrated I'd have probably guzzled my own piss by that point.
Very well done. Keep it up.
Jubilee parkrun for me this morning. Nice and steady before a long run tomorrow.
