Just found out I've got a place in FLM 2007 :). Running for the Brain & Spine Foundation. First timer in the marathon.

Starting to run greater distances, would like to run the london marathon next yr(08)First timer!! Age 38

VLM First timer who has only ever "run a steady three to the long boundary" beforehttp://www.bmycharity.com/markslondonmarathon

I am in training for the London Marathon in April (first timer). I have done a 10k and a half marathon so far!!!!aghhhh

I am entering the London Marathon 2007, first timer!Never liked running, always better in the water (swimmer), however, as it is such a good cause I wanted to be part of the team at work.

. My training suggests between 4 and 4.30 hours. Any tips for a first timer? I have just entered the 'pacing run' in Richmond Park - 9mins 15sec.

First timer at the FLM! Progress is OK but i'm a little daunted by the amount of training suggested in the guides. I have managed a run of 17 miles at 81/2 min miles and didn't feel too bad! However

Just started running 6 weeks ago to enter the race for life which I did on 10th June. My finishing time was 35 mins which I was very pleased with for a first timer, I didn't manage to run the whole

to 12.5 miles running about 9-10 minute miles. I'm taking all the advice I can about marathons for the first timer and the NY course, so please let me know if you have anything to add!!

the training and the actual race can only help me further to be a fitter and well person.Up marathon -first timer that I am.
