Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Anyone who says that London is the best marathon in the world. And then, it's only said by Londoners (or Brits) who don't even realise that there are many other excellent marathons anywhere else.

back in 2001 when I did my first one - a colleague asked if I had practiced running on cobbles so that I could manage the stretch near the Tower of London........

I remember a colleague who I had repeated conversations with about my doing Ironman. I explained what it was many times, including the 'and then a run a marathon' bit.

After doing the Ironman she congratulated me heartily and suggested: 'you should enter the London Marathon - I reckon you could definitely finish it'
