I've just decided to try and get into the FLM, but the couple of sports stores I've been to have run out of entry forms. Do you know where, in London, I can still get a form from?
(I know it is late on, but I've only just decided to run... have only been running for a few months, but am loving it, and want a real challenge).

If you've only been running a few months then I would seriously think twice about entering for a marathon. If you feel you can do it then all well and good, but I think I would be looking to do, say a 10k or 1/2 marathon first.

Anyway, back to your question, I would suggest you log onto www.londonmarathon.co.uk who might point you in the right direction. They give a list of retailers who stock the forms, and may also have a contact number should you have difficulty. Its worth a try.

All the best

You can find the stockists of the mag on this precise page of the london marathon's site - or give them a call on 0207 902 0189. You've only got till the 18th October to apply though!

Thanks for the info Dean and Annie. i ended up calling the hotline and they are now sending out entry forms, I should get one in the next day or two. And don't worry, I'll make sure I do the work if I get in. I've already done a 10k and plan to do a few more and some longer ones before April.

Cheers,
Simon

PS Sorry Benz, not THE Simon Mayo.
