How much?
Love a good Sam Smiths pub when in London 
Not bad. £5.45 iirc
I was stunned when I heard “5” so didn’t hear the rest.

Won’t call it FOMO but I do love London marathon, probably my favourite race, the 3 in America were good as was Paris but this race is pretty much packed with spectators from about the 2nd K
Want to go back one day after the last race was a hobble and walk for most of it after Tower bridge. Bizarrely someone at the gym I go to got a photo of me taking my T-shirt off at tower bridge, I was getting a bit too hot!

I saw. He had to have something done a while back, there was no fat or something left in his heel pad and it had to be injected. Was on for a sub 2:55 as well which is decent enough for a 50 year old 6’4" 90kg chap

Surprised Cracknell stopped, he normally pushes himself to the cusp of death, and keeps pushing….

Yeah, usually requires a missile to take him out.

@Sowler - This guy took a leaf out of my parkrun book 
I heard about this guy, he bet his friend he could lead out the London marathon, so he trained like swearword to get a Championship spot

So a work colleague finished yesterdays race - didn’t know they were doing it as I would have tracked them.
In work today and they’re wearing their medal and all bloody day.
I have never in my life seen someone do that
I made a comment to another colleague but felt like a right cu*t saying it!
