Al vs The Marathon

The moment of truth.

The countdown is on. Two days to go...

I have taken my training and agility from the Eastend of London to the streets of Manhattan, New York City.

Today I am comparing my sports apparel's properties to a fancy dress outfit.

Race day is only three weeks away, it's good that have everything I need!

After the half marathon, the problem with my knee has resurfaced

The half marathon itself. Do I finish it? If I do, in what time do I complete it in? Place yours bets!

The first BIG test of my training has arrived, my first half marathon!

This is me pre-marathon.

This week I am attempting to do my longest run yet. But the problem with my knee has returned.

Support and acknowledgment for completing the London Marathon have come in many forms, this is one of the strangest and most unique.

During a recent run, I picked up an injury. Feeling unsure about completing the marathon, I attempt to shun the documenting camera lens.

My training runs for the London Marathon are improving but it's getting tough, so I have purchased some new equipment to help me along the way.

This is a weekly video podcast of my hopes, preparations and aspirations for the London Marathon 2007. My two friends surprised me to the challenge of completing the 26 mile-a-thon later in the year. Not being one for running, this totally came as a huge surprise as I have not run for more than 10 minutes up until now. Without wishing to shy away from the challenge, I have decided to give it my best shot and document the events that I will endure over the coming months.

The challenge of running the London Marathon has been absorbed, now I've got to do some training.
