Anyone run a marathon before?

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

Anyone run a marathon before?

Post by frankbutcher »

I've signed up to run the London Marathon in 2012. Been for a few runs already to get a base fitness. Seems like such a mountain to climb at this early stage.

Anyone else run a marathon, or done anything similar?

Congrats Frank...A Very Worthy (Though Feckin' VERY Tough) thing to do.... :hail: :wink:

I did a London marathon 8 years ago...It was tough but the feeling of having completed it is Truly "Something Else"...also done 2 Northern runs....I will PM you with a few ideas...and see what you think.

Cheers mate. Doing it for charity (as I am doing) will no doubt drive me on during those wintry nights. 8) You may all see less of me posting in the evenings too. So every cloud......... :lol:

A reminder to everyone that you can't make unproven accusations about people on a public site without putting the site at risk of legal action against it, which is something I'd rather not happen thank you very much!

Following a complaint, two comments have been deleted from this thread.
