Harlequin Feb 2019 3:34pm, 4 Feb 2019 61 posts	0 Harlequin That's kind of what was putting me off the Portobello area. I thought the HM might make it a bit busy. Either Selkirk and a hire car, or something else in city centre then. I'll get something sorted.

MazH Feb 2019 7:00pm, 4 Feb 2019 10,131 posts	0 MazH Never mind the prepaid buses. There are corporation buses right outside the finish area. I’m excited to revisit the marathon again this year. I loved the new route last year (versus the half previous years, but it’s the same first 9 miles) I ran with friends last year for their first. This time it’ll be MY time to shine hopefully!

JRitchie May 2019 5:48pm, 1 May 2019 1,539 posts	0 JRitchie My journey has been a bit tough due to the reappearance of perinnial tendonitis from an old ankle injury. Slowly building up the mileage again and still hoping to get to the start line but my goals have been revised.

Pip_G May 2019 1:32pm, 3 May 2019 First-time poster!!	0 Pip_G If anyone know anyone who wants to buy my place (you cant transfer at this point) or my train ticket London to Edinburgh (out on sat 2.30pm and back sunday at 5pm) then they are going cheap. My mojo after running Manchester is dead. I overestimated my capacity as a runner
