I love this race for many reasons but the main reason is the golf hat. A classic.

Didn't get a place in the London Marathon ballot this year so I decided to volunteer, handing out water at Mile 16. Here's what I learned:

The faster someone is the less likely they are to say thank you.

The friendliest people are neither the fastest or the slowest but the people in the middle.

The mass determination and spirit of marathon runners is mind blowing.

The faster you are the more likely you are to wear a vest.

The slower you are the more likely you are to wear trousers.

If you insist on wearing a mankini please keep your "boys" in the barracks. There are children watching.

Do not walk through water stations.

Some people will piss anywhere.

Some people will spit anywhere.

Opening gels while holding water often results in dropped gel.

Very few men look good in short shorts.

Very few men look good in tight tights.

The thinner you are the more likely you are to be running.

The bigger you are the more likely you are to be walking.

Sweatbands are due a comeback.

Handing out water is a lot less exhausting than actually running and strangely enjoyable.

Water in squeezy, squirtable bottles in the vicinity of boys under the age of 15 will result in a water fight.

Ready, Steady, Act: Running In The Movies #014

The Enforcer

The traditional copy chases punk across inner city rooftops scene is given a cunning twist in this fantastic epic starring the might Clint Eastwood with the addition of criminal falling through a skylight on to a porno set. A classic.
