I still remember getting taken to watch the first London marathon when I was 10. Really want to be part of the first London cycle "marathon". Think it will be definitely something to remember and regret if you got a place and cba'd.
Camruns - I say ignore the "recommendations". I am only 5ft and weigh about 52kg. Most recommendations seem to be aimed at the average male. I would need only a couple of sips of water for a 2 mile run in the winter and I never use gels - they contain a high number of calories and seem a bit gimmicky to me (each to their own though). I think High 5 have about 300 calories which would take me at least 45 mins to burn off. A handful of percy pigs were more than enough to get me through a marathon.
I find that a lot of people's ideas about what's normal calorie and water intake are based on their own needs and they have no idea of the needs of a short person which are usually a lot less than the average male!
I live in Kingston so will v. tempting to pop in on the way out and on the way back as it goes right past my house.
Given I'm so slow I've calculated that if I finish in just under 9 hours I should Wiggo and Cav overtaking me on the Mall so guarnteed to get on the telly. Result!
