I've turned 40 and as my wife and two children mean I can't afford a sports car, I've opted to run a marathon for my mid life crisis. This Sunday I will be in Seville with 14,000 other people running 26.2 miles as quickly as possible.
So how about it AWIMB? Apart from don't do it, do you have any advice to offer me?
23C, lots of water and take your time. Know 2 people who've done themselves serious damage doing the London one.Quote:

3 1/2 hours, impressive. Not that you'll actually start at 8.30, probably take 30 minutes to actually start, so you'll be finishing off in the heat of the midday sun :thumbup:Quote:
