Thye have to accept you after 5 rejections don't they? Or have they canned that rule now?
Think they changed that rule. Oh well, just do another marathon somewhere else. Paris, Berlin, Edinburgh? You'll probably be able to run the whole way as well, rather than shuffling along for the first 10 miles!

I didn`t find it too bad the 2 times I did it tbh, but I am a bit of a sloth!! I`m doing Brighton marathon next year anyway so I don`t wanna be greedy
Mrs itboffin has a place, oh how I laughed teehehe
Rule #5 // Harden The censored Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
I'm in but I knew that as I've been rejected the last 5 years (and confirmed over the phone with them at the time of application - just so they made sure they had my records right!).
This all comes after getting in in 2004, after a second attempt! Did it then in 4h 34m but I did rather hit the wall and walked the last few miles. Aiming for <4 hrs this time.

I'm lucky and have always been in pen 2, no shuffling there!

If you can run sub 2hr and there's no traffic on the M1.....no problem.
Use the hard shoulder, he won't mind if you're an hour late!
