Good luck with the marathon Martin, just remember that you don't need to complete it in a time you were used to running before the illness.

I was going to enter the birmingham one myself but will give it a miss. I did the Hereford half earlier in the year and the walkathon carrying a 40lb bergan.

I have set myself up for this next year, 30 miles a day over 5 days from St bees cumbria to Robin hoods bay so will be training for that.

Donated to a worthy cause
