Great respect to all that is doing it today , I did it 8years ago in 3hours 50 would love to do it again even though I struggled too walk for a week afterwards lol.

I ran Edinburgh in 3.54 , 2 years ago. I enjoy 5 K and 10 K races the marathon is an amazing and painful experience and remember struggling with stairs for a few days afterwards. I would love to run London though currently have Achilles tendonitis. |  | | |

Absolutely huge respect although I did once pass the group of African leaders to the cheers of the crowd . Trouble was they were going in the opposite direction still sprinting and near to the finish  | | | |

The runner in the QPR kit yesterday was me !!
I ran it 2 years ago in my QPR shirt and I'm sure Charlie mentioned seeing an 'old boy' in a QPR kit - well I did it again yesterday in my 'lucky' QPR top - the one I wore the day we were pomoted at Watford
It was such hard work but briliant fun and the support (and symapthy) along the course and from other runners was amazing - every few hundred yards someone would shout out 'U R's' which motivated me to carry on - I even got a laugh when some young 'scalliwags' in Docklands started chanting 'going down, going down' then when I crossed the finishing line, the commentator spotted my shirt and announed to everyone in the Mall that a guy in a QPR shirt is crossing the finishing line and he hoped I had had a better run than QPR's season - ha ha!!
Most people I know take up golf at 51, but why oh why, I don't know, this fat old boy took up marathon running - days like yesterday make it all worthwhile - so if you were on the 26.2 yesterday and yo ugave me a cheer - Thank You so much - it made all the difference to me !!
cheers Phil [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I also ran (stumbled) Edinburgh 2 years ago, though in a time of 5hrs 26.
It is an amazing achievement for anyone who can do 26 miles.... you don't realise just how far it is until the miles are through your feet.
Not sure I could ever run another one, not sure I'm prepared to do the monumental amount of training that it takes to do another. |  |
