Biggest problem running though deptford and the isle of dogs were all the drunks and people smoking weed.

Don't they realise marathon runners wee in bottles as they run, to save stopping, and briefly pause at urine collection points to leave the bottles in neat rows ?

(and they've drunk so much water before the race, to keep them going the distance, that their wee is pretty much clear.)

I think they call that "recycling"...

I suppose it numbs the pain from the chafing and bleeding nipples

Wear a good sports bra and you won't have that problem.

I wouldn't do it without training. Put it this way do you really want to walk a 26.2 mile walk of shame with thousands of people hurling abuse at you as you slowly bimble round the course. Thought not

I can run them.

And I don't like doing Spring marathons as you have to train in the dark and cold but it's guaranteed to be hot the year you decide to do one.....

There are a lot of MPs and senior people in the legal profession that pay a great deal for that "service" and here you are moaning about getting it for free

Congrats!! Do you want sponsoring?

Thank you very much I have dropped you a PM

I'd not heard of the alcoholic, dope smoking long distance running technique, is it some new performance method that came out of Loughborough?

Tempted to do it next year then?

You can enter the London Marathon in 2nd May.

As long as you can walk 26 miles in a day you will get a medal.

Then you can put your own photos up...

A vegan, atheist marathon runner; arguably the most tedious bore ever. Wonder how many confessions we'll get on here?

It's a well known strategy. Instead of counting down the miles you start pushing yourself onto the next kebab shop.

[SlipTheJab]

Probably the same lot that I see hovering in Tesco waiting to pounce on the rancid half price food they wheel out just before closing when I sometimes pop in of an evening, its like a bloodbath

To be fair, there's not a lot else to do in Loughborough

Fed up of people on Faceache putting up photos that they did the marathon and showing off!
