Good luck. I run 3-4 miles a couple of times a week and walk around 15 miles a week but feel nowhere near ready for a marathon so I think there's a lot of work to be done for you, but good luck

Good luck Slo. I did the first Brighton marathon. I've done a few marathons and half marthons over the years. I recently did a 20 mile trot. It was sooo much easier when I was young. but now... it's verry difficult. I must be crazy. After the 20miles in June, I vowed never ever EVER again. I lied ! I've now signed up to do it all again next year for the Martlets Hospice. I wish you well Slo and hope you're doing it for a charity.
