Just wondered if anyone else was doing Edinburgh Marathon next year? My second time (did it in 2008). Hoping I can manage a PB and am working hard at runnig and getting weight down in preparation.

I'm in. How well I do depends on winter training and whether I get into London. And the weather. And my mood. Feck, it's going to be a disaster...

That man from March
Sorry won't be doing it this year. Poor organisation at the end spoilt it for me last year. Enjoyed the course though, once we got out of the city.

When I did it last time, I enjoyed it. NOw my daughter is at Uni there - gives me an excuse to visit. But I remember being offered free potatoes - that was a bit odd. Surely the main thing is the course and the location. Course good - location awesome.

a drink of water once during 26.2 miles isnt much to ask is it ?

I did it twice in the good old days & loved the old course & hated the new one.

WA - thought I'd have a 40th crack at Windermere ;)
