If an illegal drug let me finish the London Marathon, I’d take it like a shot | Nick Cohen
Such events can turn you into a monomaniac but it’s a selfishness that brings rewards
If you are reading this on Sunday morning, I should be running the London Marathon. I say “should” because as of Friday night I have no idea if I will be able to run at all.
I have been training since December. Baby runs at first. Then longer. Then I got lost – an unjustly underrated training strategy – and turned what was meant to be a 15-mile run into a 19-mile run. I finished it without too much trouble and thought for the first time that I just might get there.
