We know there’s a lot to think about ahead of the London Marathon. It’s an almighty event with so many things to consider. We want you to have the best experience possible, so we caught up with some of our London Marathon veterans and asked them for their top tips ahead of race day.
The start
What time should you arrive?
About 45 minutes before the race starts – not too long to hang about getting cold, but not a stressful dash to the start line.
Best way to travel?
By tube or DLR. Just remember public transport will be very busy that morning, so allow more time than usual and plan your journey using www.tfl.gov.uk. Most of you will be in the charity and good for age starting pens in the Red Start area, so the closest stations are Maze Hill and Greenwich.
What about toilets?
Go when you arrive, and allow some time to go again before you start. Don’t just join the first queue you see, as there are other toilets further inside the starting pens.
How long did it take to cross the start line?
Once we were called into the actual starting pens, it was fairly quick to cross the start line
Any other tips for the start area?
Two things – 1, bring a bin bag to sit on while you wait and 2, Keep an old jumper with you if it’s a cold morning. You can throw it away along the route once you warm up, and the race organisers collect all unwanted clothing and give to charity.
The race
Did you use any gels?
Yes, but I bought my own along which I’d tried and tested during training. I wouldn’t recommend using the ones on the course unless you’ve tried them before
Which were the hardest parts of the route?
Miles 8-12 – it was a bit quiet, and you still have a long way to go. Then it obviously gets tough from about 18 miles onwards
What parts of the route did you enjoy most?
Tower Bridge and all of Embankment! The support from the crowds is amazing, and these parts of the course are lined with people cheering and celebrating – it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced!
Did you spot the Shelter cheer points?
Yes – Mile 12 was the best - you could hear them before you saw the flags, and there were so many people there to cheer us on.
Celebrating
Did you come to the Shelter post-race reception? Did you get a massage?
Yes, the reception was a lovely way to end the day. I got a massage which was very welcome!
Did your friends and family come to watch?
Yes, my girlfriend and parents came along and cheered me on from Mile 12, and then came to the reception too. It was good to be able to meet them there and chill out for a while after running.
Did you book time off work for the next day?
No – part of the satisfaction is hobbling around to show you’ve done it!
Any other advice for our 2017 runners?
Write your name on your vest (or get the lettering). Makes a big difference if someone shouts your name
Arrange with your friends/family where they’ll stand to watch – it’s hard work scanning the crowd, and seeing them as expected gives a big boost
Stick to your target timings for at least the first 13 miles
Print your timings for each mile and have in your pocket to check if you’re going too fast/slow
