Best of luck!! I ran London after getting a ballot place (I was that person that always entered knowing I wouldn’t get in….and then I did so had to!), and it was amazing. Hard, especially at the end but such a fantastic experience. Soak it all up and make sure you save enough battery on your phone to a) listen to music around the soulless Isle of Dogs and b) find your loved ones at the end (I had to beg using strangers phones whilst v emotional at the end 🤣🤣)
Good luck!! There is nothing like finishing your first marathon and the sense of accomplishment that comes with it. It's like gaining a super power to know you can travel that far, on foot, in one day. You never know what to expect on race day when you toe the start line, but surely all the training you've done will instill you with confidence to get through the challenging parts of the run. Cheering you on from across the pond!
I think you're INCREDIBLE! Good luck! I loved reading this! X
Thank you! And especially for sponsoring me - wanna pick a song?
YES, YES I DO! I think Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard is quite run-ny and triumphant. Or You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)? Runner's choice!
Both!

Thank you! Excellent tips. I’m also worried about my earphones running out of juice but I might carry the charging case. So much to think about!
