I’ve applied for the Ldn marathon for 6 years running and, possibly fortunately, have never gained a place (I’ll tell you when I’ve finished!). This year I decided to commit to doing it a few weeks before turning 40! I was then fortunate to gain a ballot place which I will defer to next year - at least that way I can assess the effects of turning 40! 

I’m pretty sure long distance running isn’t my peak event and having never run more than a half I’ll be entering the unknown of how the body holds up to three and a half hours of running (if I’m lucky!) 

I’ll try and post some training blogs on the way to the big day
