Alf Tupper This was my FA cup final, Wimbledon, Ashes, Grand National Winner, Grand Slam and Olympic gold medal all rolled into one but...I'm never doing it again!!!! Going great until mile 18 then legs cramped up, awful blisters and last 8 miles were total AGONY. Glad I've done it though. A day I'll never forget with fantastic crowds who really helped every step of the way. Unaffiliated 3:39:37 3:39:37 3:45:00 3:39:37 61.94

B Left hip didn't hold up. I was on pace and feeling good up to 16 miles. I sidestepped a bottle at 16 ish miles and my hip protested. By 18 miles I was in pain. By 20 miles I was stil on pace but couldn't feel my left foot. Hobbled the last 6 miles in despair. Heathfield RRC 3:16:54 3:28:00 3:11:30 3:28:00 66.38

beders 42 seconds off a PB, yet exactly the same time TO THE SECOND from my 2003 effort.

blue (pete) BEFORE: I'm in Red start and hope to get into the runnersworld pace group - looks a very long way...bliddy hell...it IS a very long way. AFTER: I felt really down immediately after the race - don't know why. What an achievement! Today (24th) I've been wearing my t-shirt and medal and soaking up the praise and now think UP not down. Quads a bit tight but been to Nirvana Spa all day courtesy of Mrs b(p) and feel really good - can do stairs and everything. Thought all the organisation was fab - especially the fushing tiolets with wooden seats at the start and cups of sweet tea. Thown bottles a pain and seeing so many blokes p....g against walls etc wore very thin after a while. FLM spend a lot of money putting portaloos along the route - I stopped twice and waited a total of about 5 minutes including doing the deed - so what?! May just do another one. 2621 in age group, 14282nd male, 18020 place overall Unaffiliated 4:25:43 4:25:43 4:20:00 4:25:43 47.91

cidermonkey way outside my hoped for time, mainly due to illness which interrupted my training and a sore tummy on the day. But a great race. Could barely wipe the grin off my face for the first 10 miles, and definitely broke my pb for the amount of kids high-fived. The crowd were completely amazing and the organisiation fantastic. Was it just me or did anyone feel like they'd got stuck in the docklands forever and were never going to be let out again?! Unaffiliated 4:17:00 4:31:47 4:00:00 4:31:47 49.83

Colinzealuk Chip time. First things first, a PB (even if just by a few seconds), so no complaints about that. On the other hand, blew up spectacularly in the second half for some reason and ran out of energy completely after running a strong first half - 1:30:38 - and on target for what I really wanted which was around 3:05.

eL Bee! London has a Marathon, apparently... Well - it does - I was there. got T-shirt and everything to show for it!! I was more nervous about this race than any other I've ever been in. Why was that I hear you asking yourselves..!! Well - in part it was to do with the fact that it's a flippin' long way - in part it was to do with the fact that I've only tried one before and had a nightmare at Mile 21 - in part it was to do with the fact that I'd trained OK, but not as well as I should have - and in part it was to do with the fact that I'd told so many people what I was hoping to acheive. We caught the Club bus at ridiculously-early o'clock and were taken to somewhere near the Start - and wandered around the runners area doing the last 27 wee's and changing thing - drinking coffee and last fuelling up with Lucozade Sport.. Met up with XFR Bear too - which was really great. It was SO well organised. Cumberland AC 2:59:43 3:16:44 3:30:00 3:16:44 63.88

Go-KL The aim in the 6 months of training was to break 3 hours - even if it was by just one second. Training was a mixed bag - some great runs tempered with a frustrating series of hip and groin injuries, the worst of which left me unable to move my right leg whilst on a physio's bed 10 days before the big race. Happily I was patched up to a point where I was running in discomfort, but running ok. I was probably not quite in top form - that was in late February - then 3 flyaway GP's left me tired and not doing the normal level of training. Still I was confident I had it in me to break 3 hours. The race itself was an exercise in control and restraint. Using my Garmin and my HR monitor I consistently held back for the first 19 miles, not letting myself run faster than 6:32 pace and no higher HR than 170. Again the HR was a little higher than I expected, but I conclude that this must be due to the adrenaline of the day. The pain in the right hip came on at about 9 miles and reached a swift peak at 11. I was fearful that it would be a disastrous ending to the race, but some prodding in my side around my ribs periodically appeared to alleviate the problem. I was planning to push at 20 but decided to up it at 19 as I was feeling good. I actually ran my fastest 10km of the race in that final 6 miles and ended up with a negative split - something I thought I would never do. At 25 miles I knew that barring absolute disaster I would break 3 hours, and I let the occasion absorb me completely - making it the happiest running experience ever. I ended the race with a little cramp in my calf but otherwise fresh and fine - happy and eager to get out of London and into a hot bath! Grantham Running club 2:40:47 2:57:25 2:59:59 2:57:25 69.30

Jimbo AMAZING!!!! WHAT A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE..... I may have missed my target time of 3:30, but I really don't care. Despite it hurting so much, I really did enjoy every minute. The atmosphere was far better than I ever imagined and passing Gordon Ramsey at 21 miles made it all just that little bit sweeter. This was my first ever marathon, and despite a few fueling errors along the way it could not really have gone much better. The rain caused me some problems with blisters from about 11 miles, which I am suffering with today, but who cares because I DID IT!!!! Roll on Cardiff in October. I have caught the marathon bug.

LeGreg - hes back and he wants reve 7 months ago I did my first ever run. 0.5 mile in 5min40, and I was knackered at the end. So saying I am ecstatic is a gross understatement. I felt strong and was on course for sub-4 until mile 19, but it then got gradually harder until mile 23 when I got a second wind but too little too late.

MacDaz It was magical. I've had a few days to reflect and it just keeps getting better. The plan turned to custard by mile 2 and the over crowding meant that I didn't do the time I think I was capable of, but looking back it does not matter a jot. I did sub 4 hrs in my first marathon and raised over £2,500 for DEBRA. A year ago I thought a 10k was my limit and 16 months ago getting of the sofa was a challenge. Now I've done it I really have run the London Marathon and I've fallen in love with it. The crowd were amazing and made me feel like a gold medal winner. It is an amazing event. It's like letting a pub team play in the FA cup final and enjoy that level of support, with the people really meaning it. I can't really describe what I'm feeling but one thing is for sure. I'll be back. Unaffiliated 3:42:40 3:57:06 4:00:00 3:57:06 52.12

MartinCunningham A wonderful experience - so well organised and everything set up to make the day work for you. Was back in pen 6 at red start and therefore off to a slow start - not bad really given what I read happened to James Cracknel. Very steady race with a negative split (2mins quicker in 2nd half) and pleased to finish comfortably under 4 hours. I want to do this again and improve my time but for now I want to enjopy the summer months of a few shorter races until GSR in October.

stephenV Comfortably achieved my sub 3.45 goal by 13 seconds :-) Felt flat compared to my first FLM in 2005. Personally I prefer the sun. Wearing glasses in the rain so could barely see my splits / watch etc. But the support, cameraderie and organisation are breathtaking. Can't wait for 2012.

The Croc Great weather, perhaps a little too wet but a perfect temperature. Got through from pen 5 on the Red start in under 6 mins and we were already running quite freely. Started off slowly which felt like the right thing to do, first few miles were all over 9 mins. Crowds were great right from the beginning, amazing that so many people could be bothered on such a damp and grey morning, passed a church in Charlton somewhere playing Chariots of Fire on the church bells which gave me goose bumps. Running into Greenwich the noise of the crowds really picked up but Tappers and I became a little concerned that we weren’t also picking up the pace. Did a few miles at around our target pace of 8.35 from about mile 7 to 10 but the tightness of the field (and my own desperate need for a “mini-paula”) not to mention the daunting task ahead, held us back. Went across Tower Bridge still feeling reasonably strong and relaxed even tried to smile at the huge crowd and slap a few kiddies hands on the way over. By the time we went through half we were already more than 4 mins outside our target but I still hoped that we would have the space and energy to recoup at least some of the lost time. Found it very tough going around the Isle of Dogs up to Canary Wharf and I had thought this would be one of my better sections as I had spent so much of my training time on the same streets but at 17 things really started to hurt. My wife and kids had been instructed exactly where to stand on South Quay Road but unfortunately decided to move to the other side of the road to get a better view before I got there. I was intently scanning faces in the crowd on the right while they were on the left and needless to say we missed each other. This was a surprisingly big mental blow and seemed to really knock my pace too. Thankfully less than a mile later on the Wharf my team from work who were pulling an all-weekend shift had come down to cheer and I actually saw them and they shouted masses of encouragement, suddenly I had a little spring in my step again. By this time Tappers had dropped back on the expectation that I would stop to greet the family; when I didn’t I was on my own – though the concept is meaningless in this race. So much for the “showbiz 6,” the last miles were agony. I could feel the strength draining out of me with almost every step but again the crowds were massive and very vocal, there was no way I was going to stop unless the cramp got me and I could feel it was close. Dragged myself into Birdcage Walk after doing the last few miles pretty close to target pace but not close enough to make a difference. Had absolutely nothing left in my legs to make a final dash over the last 800m and was really just happy to realise only then that I would definitely finish. Final time 3:50:24 – target had been 3:45:00 but was very happy to break 4 hours on my first attempt. Also happy to have managed a negative split, only by 56 secs but at least it means our strategy was right; and you look for private victories once the thing is finished and the real pain kicks in. Took ages to meet up with the family – not made any more pleasant by having to stand in the rain on Horse Guards Parade in wet shoes and socks. Everyone was happy to see me but Sophs soon suggested that perhaps the medal should come off, it having lost its cool factor in a matter of minutes in her eyes. I successfully negotiated a few more hours, shall we say. All went up to Tiger Tiger, met up with Tappers and the famous KatieB and her family, and I had something to eat courtesy of Anthony Nolan, which was a bit cheeky seeing as though I ran for CCETSA. Decisions about more marathons or FLM 2007 are a long way off, thankfully. Unaffiliated 3:28:44 3:30:19 3:59:59 3:50:24 54.87

Vickyy was a bit disappointed with my time because training had gone really well and I wanted to try and crack under 4 hours - first half went to plan although did have to fight through crowds, kept getting boxed in. Hit the wall at about 14 miles and somehow never recovered - just got slower and slower until the last mile and a half when I managed to dig deep and find something! Sprinted to the finish. The event was amazing - the crowds, the organisation, the medal - everything! Would definitely like to do it again! Long Eaton Running Club 3:55:05 4:28:50 4:30:00 4:28:50 50.50

Vindicator My first marathon and what an atmosphere! Started off well, but things went a bit messy later on. I had gone in to the race having missed the last weeks pf training, including 3 of my long runs due to injury. I was expecting to blow up after 15 miles. Some encouragement from my wife who was running along side me got me through. Sub 4 was the target, but still very pleased with 4:08 given my injury. Harlow RC 3:24:44 4:08:24 4:30:00 4:08:24 49.51

XB I decided that 2006 was the best chance for me to have a go at a marathon. I didn't get in through the ballot so have taken up a charity place with CLIC Sargent. For me it will definitely be an event rather than a race - if I can get round in under 5 hours I'll be happy; if it takes 6 hours I'll be happy too. FERC 3:55:13 4:37:21 4:45:00 4:37:21 47.02
