  • Either run fast enough for a GFA or go and do another marathon. There are hundreds of them. This obsession with the London mara is seriously tedious - a massively congested trudge through some of the grimmest parts of town with a crowd that's bored cheering after the 2h40 guys have passed.

    Wonder how many of the 200+k who don't get in will actually do a different race instead?

    I tend to agree*, although the route & atmosphere were fine as a tourist runner.

    It frustrates me when it's referred to as 'The Marathon' tho.

    *GNR the same.
