Brief running history: After seeing my brother run the marathon in 2004 it inspired me to take up the habit get fit, and enjoy what felt like a party atmosphere at the next London marathon. I got into the 25th London marathon with a charity place and ran it in just under four hours. Since then I’ve largely been just trying to keep myself fit by doing 10ks and half-marathons,
Reason why we should train you: In 2009 I want to up the ante again and the help and support of the Runners World trainers would give me the confidence and skills to help me achieve my goals. I have a place for London and throughout the year I hope to run seven marathons in seven months, for a charity called the Lymphoma Association, to celebrate my seventh year in remission from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Before London I have entered both the Barcelona and Paris marathons. Having the Runners World team with me would really help me in achieving this feat. I’m also currently suffering from a minor (but lengthy) back injury which I’m currently able to run on, albeit with slight discomfort afterwards, so the advice of the team would be really useful in conquering that.
Predicted marathon time: Without the help of Runner’s World I reckon somewhere just over the 4 hour mark. With them – who knows…! |

Hello folks, This is my first ever post to RW Forum and I'm hoping you can help. I'm a part-time runner (when work and general life doesn't get in the way). I did the London marathon in 2005 (since then I've been unsuccessful in every ballot) for a great charity called the Lymphoma Association and I'm looking for a new challenge to raise some money for the cause. I had Hodgkin Lymphoma myself in 2002 and have recovered well from it, so to celebrate 7 years in remission I wanted to up the ante and take on the UK's toughest 7 marathons... Anybody got any ideas? Cheers and good luck to everyone else too! Mark | |
