Virgin London Marathon 2010

Mike Rigby

A very young 37 year old Banker living in Tunbridge Wells kent with his wife and 19 month old boy. I have always enjoyed running but to date have never run further than a half marathon. I have always wanted to run the London marathon and am delighted to be running it for Baby Lifeline this year. I am looking forward to the discipline that the training will demand and for raising a significant amount of money for Baby Lifeline.

I ran the Brighton half marathon last weekend as part of the training for the main event in April. All went well and despite the adverse weather conditions (freezing cold, rain, wind snow) I completed it without incident. A rather flattering time of 1hr 44mins was achieved which is more a result of how cold I was and how much I wanted to finish than genuine fitness. Total mileage last week: 24 miles.

This week, two runs during the week (tue/thurs) will be followed by the Tunbridge Wells half marathon this Sunday. Aiming for similar mileage to last week and similar time around a hillier course. Excuses at ready!

I have completed three runs this week with total mileage of 14 covered. I am working to a ‘rookie’ marathon runners plan and with 13 weeks to go will be having a crack at running 7 miles this weekend.
