I am really not sure who/what I’ve become but I’m happily sat here with a coffee ☕️ watching the London Marathon 🏃♂️
The first 5K for the elite male athletes coming in at 14:48 😮 🤯 These people are machines!
Maybe 🤔 October 2021 will be the year I run my first Marathon 😱
It’s quite inspiring isn’t it, always makes me want to go further and faster
Absolutely amazed at their pace! 😮
😂😂 Me too. Amazed at them and amazed I'm sitting here watching it. 😂 Fascinating 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
All I can think of is wow. I can only dream of ever being that fast.
You can do it! So inspiring. I’ve always watched the marathon and thought one day I’ll be a runner. Well I’m watching it today but I’ve just completed my first 30 minute run, and like you I’m thinking one day the London marathon will be my challenge, in the next 2 years I’m aiming to do it 🏃🏽♀️🎉
I have also been watching the LM after I came back from a short walk, 14.48 for the first 5Ks with only another 37 kilometers to go at that pace, if not quicker for the last 5K of the run, well done to all of those virtual London Marathon runners including GTFC from this forum.
And why not- something to aim for
It's very inspiring isn't it? I have entered the ballot a couple of times with no success and have just entered again this morning....you gotta give it a go, right?😀
It's open until Friday, if your interested??😉👍
Super inspiring! What’s this ballot you speak of? 🤔
Non-charity places for the Virgin London Marathon are via a ballot (basically because so many people want to run it.) You apply via their website and find out a few months later if you have been lucky enough to get a place. It is a lucky dip really - some secure a place the first time they apply, others are unsuccessful year after year!🙁
Link to their website is below - what have you got to lose?! Could be the race of a lifetime!😀
Thanks Sandraj39 🙏🏻 I’ve not idea what has just possessed me but I have just entered the ballot! 😮 I know who I’m blaming 🤭
Yay! Dream big, I say! Actually, I will be completely petrified if I get in! 😱HM is probably far enough for me...but never say never! 🙂🤞
Well, you made me dream bigger than I had plans for when I woke up this morning! 🤭 I’ll be completely petrified too! Hopefully we can be petrified together! 🤞🏻
I thought it was cancelled?!
Next years is postponed from April to October 3rd 🤗
I was the same- completely transfixed!
Watch ‘Eulid Kipchoge - My Sub 2 hour Marathon’
It was on BBC yesterday and it was brilliant! It’s only 30 mins - will be on iplayer
👌
Thanks InspirationalTinyTears60 🙏🏻 I’ll check it out!
That was a brilliant watch, what a guy!
Go you, of course you’ll smash it next year. Your running record already stands up as a future marathoner 👍👍.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻Think I’ll have a panic attack if I’m selected! 🤭
If you are and you aren't ready, I think you have the option of delaying until the following year
