By want-to-run-better on 27/04/2010 14:59:17
So hard, so worthwhile - I couldn't have done it without the amazing support of the spectators
What an experience! This was my second marathon, so I thought I knew what I was doing. The training went really well (thanks to our club trainer), and my Spitfire 20 result led me to be cautiously optimistic about a sub-4:00 time. I read the RW

My VLM 2010: John Whitehead (4:23)
By John Whitehead 4 on 26/04/2010 22:02:12
The knee injury I sustained pre-Christmas made an unwelcome return at the most inconvenient time but that didn't stop me from reaching the finishline
?!Everyone has a goal for the marathon. If you think you didn't achieve yours on Sunday, think again - less than 1% of the British population has ever started the London Marathon, let alone put the dedication into training and made the sacrifices that you did

Missed out on London? No worries - here are 9 European alternatives
It’s official. You haven’t been accepted for the Virgin London Marathon. But don’t despair. London isn’t the only marathon around. In fact, it’s not even the only impeccably organised, impressively supported, big-time race with a fast course in one

My story of the london marathon 2011
I was in Pen 8 of the Blue start after 6 years of applying. I couldn't believe I was about to "do" the marathon - one of my bucket list challenges. Anyway me and this other lady had been sitting in this bus stop in the pen and then slowly we began

My VLM 2010: Slimline Chips
By Slimline chips on 29/04/2010 11:15:29
Sometimes running doesn't need to be about PBs - in what other sport can you compete in the same race as Olympic Champions?
This was my second London Marathon and certainly the most unprepared I have ever been for a race. I had deferred the previous year after being successful in the ballot, so knew I had to complete it this year. But towards the end of 2009 I

Shall I enter another marathon?

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
