Marathon dates and running advice


Marathon Preparation

So, you want to run a marathon? Preparing for a marathon can be monumental struggle. First of all you have to choose a race. Last year there were over 100 marathons in the UK alone. Then you have to start training. This involves everything from buying essential kit to eating the appropriate diet, taking part in pre-marathon races and avoiding injury.


Marathons and other races

Find a marathon that you want to run. There are plenty all around Britain. And don't forget about shorter races - all good fun, and ideal for the marathon training.

Marathon Training

Some training advice and suggestions for budding and experienced marathon runners.


Running Gear

Running 26 miles requires that you wear the correct kit - shoes, socks, running top, shorts, etc. Choosing the right gear will ensure you avoid injury and enjoy your training.


Run for a Charity

Charities raise millions from marathons. In fact, the Flora London Marathon is the biggest charity event outside of the USA. If you want to run for a good cause why not contact one of our highlighted charities.


Running and Health

Running marathons requires a good degree of health. Staying free of injury and maintaining a good diet are essential for achieving best results.
