Anyone watching it?

I love watching the elites. My physio is doing it this year and I have an appointment tomorrow, so I am looking forward to see how he got on, he is looking for 3 hour 7 mins. 🙄.

So who is treating who tomorrow?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I have already promised to not make him show me how to do one legged squats properly 😂😂😂.

I’ve just got back from my run and have switched it on, the elite women’s race is looking like it’s going to be a good one! Don’t think I’m going to get much done today!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Julia187]

I love watching it, I get a bit emotional watching them all waiting I can feel the excitement 😀

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

Go Go Elite Men...... fingers crossed for some PB’s for you all.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

All the best to all the runners in the LM and especially your physio, if you know his running number, there is an app you can follow his progress.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I wish I did, I really should of asked 😀.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Bid No. 27531 yesterday a Kellyfudge asked us to follow her progress, real name from the app is Sofie Lewis, I have just looked at the app, there is a map following her progress.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Brilliant I will have a look. Thank you.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Got it now and following. 😀.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Update at 1036am she's around the 5k part

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Brilliant 5km time. 😀🏃‍♀️.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Silly me, I just realised I know my physios name and luckily there is only one of him so I am now following him, His first 5km 21 mins. 😀.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Wow, 5K in 21 minutes, I think Sofies was around 36 minutes, do you know your physio's bib number?.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

37966

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Thank you.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

10km times are now in, Wow just,Wow.

42:21 mins for my physio

48:39 mins for Sofie.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Excellent, Sophies time for the 5k I think was around 26 minutes, not 36. Adam and Sophie are running I would think a PB for a marathon if they can keep their pace going at that rate.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I think so, amazing. I am going to have to drag myself away for a bit and go out for my run but I will be back in time to watch them both finish. I will post back here when I get back. 😀.

Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya is the winner of the LM in a time of 2.02.37.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Hehe, I can’t even run a HM anywhere near that time. 😂.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

I hope you enjoyed your run today, RFC, Brigid Kosgei won the women's elete race on a time of 2.18.20. Our two friends whom we are following are doing very well indeed.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Great run, I think I wanted to get back so much it was a fast one for me, They are doing so very well aren’t they.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Update:1.22pm, I have just looked at the app, I think your physio has completed the London Marathon. 😊

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes he has 3 :07:57. Brilliant. I think he has matched his last Pb.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Congratulations to him, I now will concentrate on how Sofie Lewis is getting on.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

She is on the final stretch now 😀

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Yes, probably a PB for her, she did say yesterday that she would report back here once she finished on how she got on, time etc.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Wooohoooo Kallyfudge 3:38:20. Totally amazing, 🥇👏👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Congratulations to Kallyfudge on completing the London Marathon in a excellent time of 3.38.20, well done.

[Sigered Graduate]

I watch this every year. Since I started running nearly two years ago my admiration for anybody that runs the marathon has gone up a notch because I now have an appreciation of what is involved to get there.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Sigered]

I find it so inspirational, every single runner deserves that medal at the end, they do earn it and the longer it takes them I think the more amazing they are!

[Julia187 Graduate]

They’re not even sweating 😅

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

AlMorr I’m back, fastest 5km I have done for ages.

Look at them go, I am in awe

[E27M14 Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

I ran a 5k PB this morning so that I could get back and watch the marathon. One of the elite women, I think it may have been Purdue, they said was averaging 5:08 minutes per mile...... I did my 5k at an average 12:02 this morning 😂

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to E27M14]

I went out to do a 5km run in the middle and in that time my physio did 15 km 😀😂.
