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....?

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

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!

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?
