London Marathon - cheer on the town fan! 10:56 - Oct 1 with 908 viewsswede

For those of you who are going to watch the London marathon on TV watch out for ardent Town fan and former Woodbridge boy Aaron Scott. Give him a cheer on from your sofas!

This is his fifth London marathon and he has finished in the top 25 three times. His PB is 2:16:57 so he's not going to beat Eliud Kipchoge, but as his Dad I'm highly chuffed that he has been selected again in the elite race for GBR.

Is it still going ahead, or is it being done in a different way? Congrats either way!

It's a smaller lapped course for the elites.

I remember the OP saying his son did Frankfurt a couple of years ago when I ran it.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

Yes, it is on Sunday. The course is several laps of St. James Park with the finish in The Mall again. All being done on a Covid safe way with no spectators allowed. Men's, Women's & Wheelchair races with only 40 men invited.

I did London last year and it's an amazing thing. Its scale, organisation and support are unparalleled. Shame it couldn't stop me bonking hugely at mile 15!

Good luck to him, have set it to record, think the men’s race is going to be interesting and think it could go sub 2.

I ran last year, it is awesome, I struggled the last 2 miles with my foot but the encouragement from the crowd really do help you.

2:16? You're not allowed to use a bike.

Good luck Aaron

Good luck to him!
I'm doing the Virtual London Marathon on Sunday. Training has been seriously hampered by a succession of injuries so have no intention of running it. May well walk most of the way with some light jogging at intervals if my knee behaves itself; so my time is likely to be somewhere between 6-8 hours! I will still get a medal and the t-shirt though so it'll be worth it.

Ready! Steady! Cook!

Nice One!! 2:16, wow, brilliant.

I did a half marathon last year - Great North - in 2:39!!! Was aiming for 2:15 ish, but peaked to soon and really slowed over the last 2-3K.

His PB for marathon is almost the same as my time for walking 10k...

Good luck to Aaron
