Running the London Marathon this weekend. Had an awesome training block over the last 10 weeks and looking forward to getting 26.2 miles done.
Been raising money for a local hospice back in my hometown to keep the legs moving :D. Wish me luck!
I miss running. Best of luck!

Thank you, my friend! Maybe I'll need a "fueled by sats" shirt for the next one

Best of luck! Much later this year it seems, Let us know how you get on and share some highlights for us.
Got a game plan? Music or Bitcoin podcasts to keep you motivated?

Thank you! Yeah, they're moving it back to spring as of next year. Will certainly share the results when I'm through the other side!
The game plan is to try not to get too excited and stick to my pace, the challenge starts at 19 miles, so I arrive there in good time with as much in the tank as possible!

Good luck. How long have you been training for, or have you always been a runner?

I actually started running ~5 years ago with the intention of running the London Marathon. I applied to run the first 2 years but didn't get a spot. I then got a spot through the charity and got delayed another 2 years with COVID sigh.
When I first started running I could barely make 60 seconds, a few weeks ago I ran my longest run of training at over 21 miles. It's amazing to make your body do something your mind thinks is impossible, it does wonders for both.
