London Marathon 2018

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Good afternoon fellow foxes,

 

I am running this years London Marathon to raise money for the meningitis research foundation in memory of my nephew who passed away in October 2016 at just 24 days old. 

 

If anyone has any advice that will help me or is able to donate I will be very grateful.

I won't pin this thread now as it's too far away, but if you bump it a week or 2 before I'll pin it then.

Enjoy it, it's brilliant. And if you usually listen to music when you run, leave the headphones at home as the atmosphere is amazing. Print your name on your shirt, and take a dump before you leave, I had to dive down a side street on 8 miles one year,

Amateur, just go full Radcliffe and curl one  out on the main route.

 I'd had a large breakfast, plenty of energy drinks and gels, think cows.

It’s amazing isn’t it, you put all that training and planning in and a normal bodily function lets you down. I was on 21 miles when I went and my legs were barely strong enough to hold me up, I must have been a right picture. Shaking, shitting and crying

I was convinced I was gonna shit myself on mile 11 of the Great North Run but somehow it went away long enough for me to finish.

 

Why does no-one ever tell you when you start running that it makes you wanna shit ya pants?

And that is why having your name on your t-shirt is not a great idea
