This was my first attempt at a fast marathon
0:02
My device has clocked to 3.05. I'm pretty happy. I think it gives me a benchmark to work to now
0:08
I really had no idea where I was going to clock out. But what an amazing experience
0:13
Everything that everyone promised delivered tenfold. The crowd are just like... Just when you feel like you're hitting a really rough patch
0:21
they lift you and it's an amazing experience. I mean, if anyone feels like they might want to get involved
0:29
and try and get a ticket, you absolutely must. It's always an amazing experience. The crowds are great
0:34
It's a privilege to be able to do it, a privilege to be able to run, especially representing a great charity
0:39
like the Children's Trust that I'm running for. They raise money for children
0:42
who suffer from brain injuries and neurodisabilities. So that's where you keep having to remind yourself
0:48
when you're out there struggling. But yeah, a privilege, but I'm glad it's over
0:52
I've got one son that's Olympian. He's quite quick. Another one that plays football
0:56
a chef and a daughter as well. and I always tell them to give it everything, never give up no matter what you do
1:02
And all it was was them, if I gave up, I think they'd never forgive me
1:09
So yeah, and also, I mean people getting round is amazing. I mean you know the crowds, the cheer stations, the runners helping each other
1:20
This is just the best marathon on the planet, bar none, simple as that
