Ali's good news

Well after five years of trying Ali has got a place in the London Marathon!

So no stopping running over the winter for her, she wants to beat my time, I'm sure she'll do that easily!

  2. Well done Ali! I, in a moment of stupidity last monthI entered Edinburgh marathon - and got in. It's in May som training commences after Xmas. It's on road as well, something I swore I'd never do! Primary goal: get to the start line uninjured.

  3. I got in the first year I applied, not sure if that was lucky or not!

    If you want someone to do long runs with julbags Ali would love company, I have offered to cycle them but running too far is beyond me! Ali is planning on doing most of her training off-road, that way you minimise injury risk and have more fun!

  4. I will also be doing most of my training offroad as I'm an inury magnet otherwise. I still haven't quite grasped the enormity of what I've let myself in for I think. The weather better not be like today though, I have never been that wet and muddy running, ever.
