My daughter was a race organiser for Cancer Research UK Race for Life, and I have acted as the "Back marshall" for many of her events. I have had the opportunity to chat to some of the ladies who were at the rear of the field and without exception their determination to finish has been inspiring. | |

| When you get to my age (58) you are more concerned about not breaking bones. i train in the gym on a treadmill with Sony Walkman, instead of on the icy roads. | |

Two comments.
Every dress rehearsal goes wrong.
Winston Churchill was once asked to give words of advice to a group of school children. His response " Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give in!"
I am sure you will have a great day. | |

Hi Rebecca
If this is your first Marathon i would suggest that you keep to your training, it will be hard at first but you will suddenly find that you can run further than you thought, in fact if you are building up your long runs and you get to the end of your road and feel like it, run round the block to add another half K. If you can get upto 20miles in training a couple of weeks before the FLM you will be fine.
Don't worry about your time, enjoy the day, the crowds are fantastic and you will not believe the difference of running with people cheering you on , compared with a lonely solitary run on a cold sunday morning. Are you running for a charity? My daughter works for Whizz Kidz and they have teams of cheerers who will look out for your running vest and give you a morale raising cheer, and i am sure that the other charities do the same.
Good luck
Nigel. FLM running number 11000 | |
