London Marathon

[Jonhinio]

Anyone else here doing this? This will be my second one. Jogged round in 2008. Am aiming for a better time this year. It will form part of my Ironman training as well. Wondering if I should cycle to the start from Windsor as a brick session. Hmm....?

Good luck for London. I didn't get in this year so am doing one in May in Riga instead. Yes I am crazy!

[Jonhinio]

Riga. That sounds great. I want to do some European marathons next year. Woudl be interested to hear how you get on.

[Tarka the Nutter]

I'll let you know. I've been told it is flat like London and it's not that big a race so good PB potential, although a two lap course. My grandad was from there so thought it was a great chance to visit the place and also to indulge in my love of running.

How is it from Windsor to the start of London is you bike? My geography is rubbish

[Jonhinio]

Flat is definitely good. I like the idea of the Prague Marathon. It's a lovely city.

Probably 30 miles

[Tarka the Nutter]

That would be a good brick then wouldn't it, not that I really know about these things being a newbie Right now I can't even imagine doing anything and then running a marathon, but maybe some day!

Flat is definitely good. I like flat!

[Tarka the Nutter]

Forgot to say that i love Prague too. One to consider for the future me thinks.

I didn't get in but I am volunteering through my club.. I'm on the elite's 40k drinks stop..

See you about 1.40-1.55 into the race?

I'll be along the course cheering people on - about 6k i think (just as you start go back into Greenwich) and then later on the Isle of dogs at about the 17 mile mark i think (by cros harbour DLR and the Pub there) so if i spot you I'll give a shout and that - but given the numbers it may be difficult...oh GOD! This will be the first year i do it without drinking... how will I cope?

[Jonhinio]

Cool Scotty, mine's a London Pride.....

I'll be wearing an FSID vest (yellow) with JON in big red writing.. how could you miss me
