Four words you need to know about the
Marathon: you can do it. Injury or illness aside, I truly believe anyone can
run 26.2 miles if they want to.
And that’s what I did yesterday, along
with 36,000 other runners who lined up to start the 34th London
Marathon. It was my third marathon and I was proud to be representing my
running club, Ranelagh Harriers, in my blue vest. Waiting in the warm spring
sunshine at the start on Blackheath I felt a flutter of nerves, but was
determined to channel them into energy. My goal was to come in under four
hours, for which I’d need to run even splits of nine-minute miles.
