london being my first ever marathon feels SO surreal 🙈 i'm excited, a bit deflated because i'll be running on a slight injury, and now starting to feel the nerves . . . but it's definitely going to be one of the best days of my life 🤩🏃🏻‍♀️ good luck everyone running this year ✨

I am not running London but the OKC RuntoRemember tomorrow. It's my first live Marathon and I am feeling so many doubts and nerves right now. Thank you for this video to remind me that this should be fun. After running a virtual marathon last year I am counting on the energy of the crowds to keep me going. Just hoping to finish this year. But I love how Rick reminded me that all the finishers get a medal, no matter the time.

Fantastic video. Gives me goosebumps as I start my first Marathon training block for London 2023 😁😬

Going to be my first marathon and been buzzing for it all week. Just the idea of running past the Cutty Sark, across Tower Bridge and the run down the Mall is keeping me motivated! Though the biggest motivation has to be the post-race pint!!

[craighammond]

First London and feel sick like I've never felt before a run before. So

I always go out too fast in marathons and half marathons. Now my race plan includes "run the first 2km too fast, then fall back into a slower steady pacs" I've found it doesn't really hurt to start too fast, just don't try to hang on to it.

My London Marathon Best Tip: Make sure your name is printed BIG on the front of your shirt. People you've never met will be shouting your name all the way. I had a planned distraction technique which was to count the number of times someone shouted my name as I went along. By mile 2 I'd lost

[alanhillier]

Can’t believe I’ve done it…virtually.Started 2am, walked first 13.1 due to slight injury then opened it up.I am so chuffed with myself to be honest, took 60 years though lol.Just gotta say quickly the marathon app was brilliant, listening to Paula Radcliffe etc reall kept me going

This will be my first official marathon, but I ran the virtual last year and my biggest tip from that is to pack a spare pair of socks if you have a backpack. It was raining last night and changing to dry socks at the 20mile point really helped me keep motivated

[janicegagnon]

This is a bucket list marathon for me, both of my fall marathons now virtual as we are back in a state of emergency. A nice slow long run to be able to dream and visualize running London marathon someday!

[janinekrok]

So so so excited. Training has started and we cannot wait to be there 🇿🇦 🇬🇧

[pamirsalar]

[katys]

Ran earlier and it was INCREDIBLE!!! What a buzz 🐝😍

[RobeenaShepherd]

Good luck everyone running the London tomorrow! There or virtual, you are amazing!!!

Top tip. Take advantage of the wc facilities at the start and your own tissues

[thecolorisgreen]

Thank you for this! I’m running this year and can use these tips 👍🏾

[logginsirl]

Great tips as always!!! Would love to see an NYC marathon version of this 👍👍

[karlbolderson]

That music at the Expo got the heart pumping

[Kelly_Ben]

I'm in the US, so I'll probably never run the London Marathon, but I had to watch this because... Rick and Anna!!
