.....firstly, is it too late to enter?
Secondly, how much training do I need to do before Sunday? (I'm probably about a stone overweight but I can already do about 2km on the treadmill)
Finally, what time will I need to finish in for around the top 20?
Cheers.

I will be in my normal orange running top. I am going to the Excel in London tomorrow to pick up my number and pack. It will tell me where I am starting from. |
Where will you park? |  |

If there’s a God of Symmetry, Portman Road car park would be a better bet for anything around London way. |  |

...Fourthly, can anyone point me to which are the best boozers on the route for the purposes of refreshment and refuelling? |
Well the nice people at Cask Marque, based in Colchester btw, have with Nicholsons created this London Marathon inspired pub trail of 46 pubs who all sell London Pride, which is the official beer of the London Marathon, visit ten and get a free London Pride glass...

I only run for ice cream vans or if I'm being chased. Don't see the need for running now we have cars. |
You weren't one of those following Delia were you? | |

I've started running recently and I feel like I'm injured way more than when I wasn't exercising.
Therefore we can conclude that exercise is terrible for you. |
Running outside on the concrete fcuks you up if you're not used to it. Stick to the treadmill and you'll be fine. |  |

Just think of it as practice for when you are being chased.
Bloots might catch you next time if you get too complacent. |  | | |

Ha, I get that. Once you've got past that stage it does become a lot better. Proper play list on, change up the speeds and incline and it's manageable.
The cross-trainer is the best IMO. Better for your knees & ankles IMO. [Post edited 18 Apr 2024 9:38]
