Will look out for you. I will be the very nervous looking one in a black trouser suit and turquoise shirt. Probably being sick in a corner somewhere....

I seem to have missed out on lots of encouraging banter going on here! I'm running for Alzheimers Research Trust and hope to finish in less than 5hours!
Can i ask what are all the teams?

[Deleted User]

Caroline - look at the link to Meerkat's site via RW marathon page, and some of it will start to make sense.. Good luck!!

[Deleted User]

there are ten teams who are supporting a number of runners who have asked for encouragement. The supporters are gathered at an official runners world point at mile 17. We have been allocated about 25 runners each to encourage , provide drinks or sweets or just a shout to help those the next 9 miles go a bit easier. if you want a more personal support, email me and send me your number, description and team 1 will look out for you.

[Deleted User]

Count me in! I just emailed....

Didnt say I expect to have blonde frizzy hair, a white face and orange lips from lucozade at mile 17!

easy tiger!

Caroline, do you also do the sub 5 hour thread? There are loads of us!

[Deleted User]

I could use some support! This is my first marathon and unfortunately I will have no one coming to cheer me on. I put my name on my running vest so hopefully people pronounce my name right as I spell it differently!

[Deleted User]

if your name is on your vest, you will get cheers and encouragement especially at mile 17!

I'm going to have a search on sub 5 hours - Hey Jaime, join the club - me too. I went to collect my number yesterday with a collegue from work and he has got his family coming down from Grimsby and they are all going in a pub after the run and his girlfriend has arranged a party for afterwards. Started making me feel rather lonely. but today i discovered this forum and am feeling happy again.

[Deleted User]

Can't find the sub 5 hour thread - help

[Deleted User]

My first (and last) marathon. I have spent most of the last 2 years injured (ankle ligaments succeeded by a broken toe) and have clocked up 78 physio visits since Jan '03! Running the London marathon with my two American colleagues is my dream. I am running for Samaritans in memory of a friend who died. Any support gratefully received! Good luck to other runners.

[Deleted User]

I will need some support at mile 17, can I join too?! This is my first marathon and I haven't been able to run for 5 weeks and previous to my injury had only got up to 14 miles. I'm hoping to do it in 5.5hrs..running/walking. Is anyone else here joining the 'GET YOU ROUND' RW pace group and if so do I need to register for it? Thanks Danni
