Good luck Ajay. We'll be out somewhere TBC out on the route, so I'll keep an eye out for you.

My twin bro's running it. So if you see someone who you think is me and he blanks you, don't worry - it may not be me :lol:

Good luck Ajay. I'm running this year too.

Have you picked up your number yet?

I was planning for 3:30 :D or possibly faster :wink:

But my plan may be scuppered because I'm in pen 6 which I puts quite a way back with the rhinos and cybermen. :x :x :x
Anyone got any ideas if it's easier to get in to another pen ??

Just walk up to a pen nearer to the start line and jump over the barrier. Simple but try not to pull a muscle doing so. That can come later.

My number is 52547...adidas have a free website that uses chips to track runners every 5km.
text "run" to 83040 and adidas will send link and then enter runners number

Edo, that's impressive...I'm in pen 6 too and the rhinos sounds about right.

I hope to finish in 4.20, which is 1.5 hours faster than last time I had a go !!!!

Good luck with your 3.30, say hello if you see me. Ill be wearing an Addiscombe cap and Dulwich runner red t-shirt

Chris Hoy is starting the race off
And Chris Boardman is running it with target time of 3.40...so EdO, you've got a once in a lifetime chance to beat Boardman...

Well done. I always reckon running a marathon is way harder than anything I've ever done, or will do, on a bike.
