Little Miss Happy Oct 2020 6:54am, 3 Oct 2020 3,476 posts	0 Little Miss Happy That's just not nice funkyPOM - I'll happily swap you our cold, wet and windy. Given how much rain we've had overnight and today's forecast I may have to rethink my route and avoid the trails too.
funkyPOM Oct 2020 7:10am, 3 Oct 2020 765 posts	0 funkyPOM Decided to stay local, close to home, 5-10k at a time so can hydrate properly. No route planned as such, just a general idea that is flexible depending on how it's going
Totriornottotri Oct 2020 7:37am, 3 Oct 2020 1,005 posts	0 Totriornottotri Been think about the FAQ about the app. virginmoneylondonmarathon.com Why do I need to use the app? The Official Virgin Money London Marathon App powered by TCS will track your 26.2 miles and enhance your Marathon Day experience thanks to its unique in-app audio experience. What a load of b!!€%$

EvilPixie Oct 2020 8:14am, 3 Oct 2020 19,024 posts	0 EvilPixie Yep I’m now 95% roads I can live with wet I just hope it’s not wet and windy as my road route has a few exposed bits Plenty of hedges though for when nature calls 😮 and 1 shop for a top up (might treat myself to something too ... wonder if they have a Costa express for a hit chocolate?)
Spideog Oct 2020 8:26am, 3 Oct 2020 695 posts	0 Spideog Just had my start time released. Marathon runners mixed in with people just doing a 5 mile event, but I'm at the back of a group of other marathon runners who should all be going about the same pace as me. Should be handy enough to make up the 10 second deficit and gain some shelter from the wind and rain if needed. Or at least the motivation of people to chase.
