I (Male of the couple) used to be very fit and sporty a few years back, even then after completing a number of half marathons I always said never again after each one.

The monotony of running without having to chase a ball is far too pyschologically tiring to me.

To be honest I lie, I would enter but I had to give up marathon running as the powers that be said I had to stop humiliating Mo Farah, so I decided to tow the line

"Already done it

Same. Atmosphere was fantastic. Camaraderie was fantastic. Will be watching it tomorrow.

I live the London marathon. My dad did it 3 times and his uncle raised thousands of pounds running it over several years....he met princess Di for his fund raising efforts.

That's impressive. Nice.

1st time I applied and got in through the ballot.

Beer was good at the end!

I didn't realise it was so tough to get into

I managed to get a place through my running club ballot.

Do you get priority if you live in London?

Don't think so"

No you don't.

My friend applied 8 years in a row and only got a place this year!

"I can't be arsed to run through a city with twenty-hundred other people. I'm training for a 50k trail run instead - there's more food on the route

If I'm running through a city....its usually AWAY....from the police...or some twat who wants to fight because I paid his s/o a compliment
