It's been nearly a month, and I'm still bitter. Like several other members of the Tom's Guide fitness team, I was due to take part in the London Marathon last month, and I had my sights firmly set on a new personal record.
I'd trained rigorously throughout the winter and, after a disappointing first attempt at the marathon in 2023, I was ready to take on the course again. I planned to try and complete the race in under four hours, with a target finish time of somewhere between 3 hours 45 minutes and 3 hours 59 minutes. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be.
