you must be quite fit ( ohh err
) to be able to run that sort of distance already, treadmills are good, but when i used to run alot i preferred to road run - if you thinking about doing the next London one, i would consider doing a few half ones before hand or even 5k runs just to get into the swing of things of running with lots of other people
look here for some event info

ps: cold baths after a run are good for aching muscles i found
