Splendid thread Minardi👏👏👏 Have always entered a marathon with at least a vague notion of target finish time, but getting to the startline is always my key goal. I’ve never taken a finish line for granted mind, particularly since I got marshalled the wrong way at Southampton a few years ago for a ‘dnf’. Finish lines have taken on an even greater significance since then. See you at North Dorset Villages westmoors! |

Having had a bit of an injury 'mare for the last couple of years (my last one was March 2020), I'm really hoping to get to the end of a marathon sometime this year - I've entered one of Foxy's Enigmas in March in rather unrealistic hope, but nothing ventured, nothing gained as the saying goes! I've got others later in the year as well. |

Great idea for a thread. I've not yet attempted a Marathon properly, I just walked the Virtual London in 2020 due to a lack of motivation during the summer, then hurt myself in 2021 and had to defer so I'm now going to try again in October... The problem being that I haven't done very much running for months! My plan is to start using the C25K program then Hal Higdon's base building program, the his Novice program and if all else fails I'll walk it again. Wish me luck! |

You're on the list Dave..M so best start that C25K sooner rather than later!
