	Progress Makes Perfect By Marguerite Lazell on 22/12/2003 11:50:43 New Year's resolution - a brief catch-up with our three marathon first-timers finds them well on the way to marathon success food, and no alcohol allowed. Surprisingly, the diet hasn’t been the hardest thing for Neale. Anderson wouldn’t allow her to jog during the first six weeks of her schedule – getting her to swim and cycle instead – and she found it incredibly frustrating

	My VLM 2010: Katy Draper By Katy Draper on 27/04/2010 14:56:39 Completing the London Marathon has been a goal of mine for 30 years - finally I have done it! I had a place in the London Marathon in 2003 but unfortunately had to pull out after doing all of the training, as I had a chest infection during the taper. It was particulary sad because Dad was dying in hospital and was really looking forward to watching it on the TV during th...

	My VLM 2010: Jaime Keeble (5:25.57) By Jaime Keeble on 30/04/2010 08:44:39 My first marathon - but definitely not my last! This was my first marathon and it was great. I didn't reach my target time (to go under five hours) but I finished in 5:25.57. I got to that dreaded 20-mile point and then my legs got very heavy.I used a combination of running and walking after

	My VLM 2010: Deano (3:53) By Dean Watson 2 on 29/04/2010 21:08:15 What a day it turned out to be! You have to run it to believe it The Virgin London Marathon was my first ever marathon. Previously I'd run the Bupa Great North Run and, having been hooked on the atmosphere and the fantastic sense of achievement, I set my sights on the London Marathon.With four months of five

	My VLM 2010: Brian Kent (4:22.28) By Brian Kent on 03/05/2010 17:25:55 The wheels on my bus started falling off around Mile 22 but thankfully I managed to get back in my stride - at least my pictures show me running along The Mall! My name is Brian Kent. Like some of you, this was my first marathon. Looking back, the 16-week training programme I set myself certainly kept me focused and re-joining a gym certainly helped. Six one-on-one sessions with a training instructor

	My VLM 2010: SCharm (4:28) By SCharm on 29/04/2010 15:34:20 I have never experienced anything like it and suspect no other race will ever live up to the London Marathon This was my first London Marathon, and I was very lucky to get a ballot place after only trying once before. The marathon to me was like a great big carnival - it was just fantastic! The noise of the crowds cheering you on, the smell of barbecue

	My VLM 2010: Paul Rock (4:01.42) By paul rock 2 on 12/05/2010 13:36:13 My story, my joy, my pain! First time and the last time (but I said that after my first half-marathon...) First marathon, trained really hard. Got to the day, very excited. I was hoping for a sub-4:00, which from my half-marathon times was possible.For some reason ended up in Pen 9, which seemed strange as I put 3:45 on my application form. I was also

	My VLM 2010: krssy (4:28) By krssy on 27/04/2010 07:22:47 My first Virgin London Marathon - I’m a person who loves a challenge and my race was certainly that! The London Marathon is truly one of the greatest races of all time. I’m a person who loves a challenge and I certainly love an adventure and my race yesterday was certainly that. The first half of the race was fine. At the halfway point I thought I
