Yes it's marginal at present. I actually bought some from a stall 30 mins before Yorkshire Marathon. A good purchase as things turned out!

Good Luck to both of you !! Really good video. Almost makes me think about doing a marathon 😂

You both look in excellent condition, I think the main two tips are be happy joyful on the day knowing you’ve done the hard work in, & the mental mantra is so important, remember it’s a privilege & a pleasure to be able to run any marathon, keep on keeping on, 😂

@@tworunningbrooms based on current fitness, sub 1:40 would be a good day. Sub 1:35 would be an excellent day. Conditions are looking good though and I know the course from last year, so looking forward to it!

Ooh how exciting. Have a great race!

Hi John and Dawn. I love following your travels together and am constantly inspired by your love of the sport and determination to get the best out of yourselves. I have ambitions to race London marathon next year (2025) . Is there a "good for age" route to gain entry . I have no idea what events would offer this and when they are. My training is broadly aimed at an autumn event that could give me a GFA boost. Can you help regarding events/cut off date for gaining the GFA. I run in the Weymouth area so would love to say hi next time you are down this way. Best regards Merv.

Thank you. We're in Weymouth/Dorchester a few times a year. 🙂 In terms of gaining GFA for London. The times needed to run are on the London Marathon website, and you really need to be inside those times. From our understanding, you would need to qualify for 2025 before the end of September, and unfortunately, most of the fast autumn marathons are after that. However, there are a few autodrome or airfield multi-lap marathons in September that some folk do to gain qualification times. As long the marathon has a UKA permit, race licence, and certificate of accuracy, it can be used for qualification.

Useful stuff - got to work out how many gels I actually need. I took 7 on a 20 mile race and struggled near then end still. I just wish they did cost a ha'penny! All the best for Sunday!

Yes eye watering cost of marathon fuelling these days. Would love to get able to fuel on a 1/4 lb of wine gums.

Good luck to you both John and Dawn😂
