There's just something about the London Marathon that gives me all the feels. Even though I'm yet to run it myself (and I say this as though maybe one day I might!) every year, I tune in and feel a wave of adrenaline, motivation and - quite frankly - euphoria running through my veins (excuse the pun).
Despite being what I'd term a recreational runner (by which I mean, I've run one marathon and a handful of halves/10ks/weekly 5ks), over the past few years, I've run less and less, for reasons too varied and lengthy to go into. But the build-up to this year's big race (MC UK's Senior Health Editor, Ally, referred to it as London Fashion Week for runners, and it's stuck with me) got me thinking: what if we could harness the magic of that 26.2 but in a different way, to make it more accessible to all?
