Thanks a lot mate. Have been fighting a bit of a cold since Thursday but hoping the adrenaline pulls me through.AFKABartram said:Good luck @Leeds_Addick mate and anyone else running tomorrow.Not nervous at all really, I was sure I would be but at this point I’m very excited and just want to soak it in and enjoy it. Hoping no one asks me if I’m enjoying myself after mile 22….
Will be thinking of all the people CACT have helped over the last 18 months. Really quite proud to be doing it for them.4 -
Feel free to give your sponsorship a plug (and anyone else running tomorrow)0

Cheers @AFKABartram. I'm running for Great Ormond Street tomorrow as one of my boys was treated there when he was a few months old. Link is below if any of my fellow Lifers wanted to donate.
Good luck @Leeds_Addick and any other fellow Addicks who will be pounding the streets tomorrow!

Good luck everyone running today or if you're doing the virtual alternative somewhere.
It's about this time I start looking at the scenes in Greenwich and get itchy feet* to do it "just one last time" . Then I come to my senses...
*yes, I know, you can get cream for that.0 - Sponsored links:

Still a good time overall. From mile 18 to 25 it's hard going, the last mile and a bit you kind of get a bit of a lift.ForeverAddickted said:

Found the hardest stage of London was that section where you turn towards the Isle of Dogs.Dazzler21 said:

The roads narrow quite a bit there and you end up catching those who started earlier than they should and end up walking in the middle of the road - I killed my pace and hit the wall not long after as I was constantly having to change my pace to slow down and then speed past to get round everyone.0 -
I found the Isle of Dogs before the days of Canary Wharf the hardest as I didn't know the area and it was playing on my mind, as I couldn't picture where I was.ForeverAddickted said:

03:58:50 for me today. So pleased to get under 4 hours but it was a real slog with it being warmer than expected. 16 minutes off the previous time I did a marathon, also London, but that was in 2014 and I'm now 43! Very happy!32

Brilliant time mate, well done2

One Canada square follows you round like a bad smell. Everywhere you turn it's there!
You just can't shake it off.1 -
