Hi all... As a man of 41 running the London marathon this year, I'm trying to find out what time I have to beat to get an automatic place in next years race? I've looked everywhere and don't seem to be able to find an answer..... HELP!,,,,,, Neil

When you turn 41 you get a very generous extra 5 whole minutes!! Money mouth (thanks guys) So 3.15 is your target.

I'm also 41, although apparently I look early 30s. Have I mentioned that before?

Ah well, my PB for a half is 2:15 (but been taking a bit longer than that lately Frown) - think that translates to round about 5 hours for a marathon. So, if I can still run at that speed when I am 70 (26 years from now) then I will have a GFA

If you have a sex change, it'll be a lot easier. Girls don't know they're  born!!!! Yell
