How long have you trained for it?
I want to do it next year. Currently I am a fat f**k, so it will take some effort.

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I've put in a serious amount of effort, running between 30-40 miles a week for the last 3 months, up at 5.30-6am 3 days a week and a long run Sunday so no getting pissed Sat night. Done 3 halfs before this but only took up running 4 years ago.

I'm 48 and was overweight although not that much but I have lost a stone and a half since xmas, now around 10.8 and bought some 30" jeans the other week!

Do some halfs first, a full one is a massive step up. Best of luck.

Wow.I am impressed.

Was training for a marathon in 2010, but had to cancel my plans because of an operation.

Ran 8-10 distances of 21km plus, longest one was 28 km.

Now I feel like going running tonight. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif
