My Apple Watch notifying me that the @LondonMarathon crowds were dangerously loud yesterday and may cause temporary hearing loss. 📢👂🏻🙉

@Marathonchamp Congrats Richard 👏🏻x

8 weeks ago my heart stopped for 8 secs & I had to have a pacemaker fitted. ❤️

Yesterday I completed my 12th #LondonMarathon in 5:34:01 just by power walking.

It’s two hours off my PB, but as I was only allowed to start exercising two weeks ago I am so happy.

Congrats to Diana Codispoti who I met at the start of @LondonMarathon yesterday.

She was aiming to be the first person with dwarfism to complete #LondonMarathon and she smashed it in 7:26:22. 👏🏻🍾

We are still looking for a few more marathon runners to take part in our study.

If you are running #LondonMarathon next weekend or any other UK races and can achieve these times please get in touch or share with anyone who can.

Just involves food diary & 💩 sample

@AliaPike @UKRunChat Thanks Aliya. Good suggestions. I plan to take a camera. Maybe I’ll set myself photo challenges.

I need my watch to check my heart rate and possibly slow down.

I did ask if I could be a pacer as I would have to keep to a set pace then but they don’t need any more. #ukrunchat

[Jo @MajorRunning]

@endoadenoandme @UKRunChat I try to find tracks with a beat that matches my intended pace. I also like to start listening to Arcade Fire’s Intervention. It starts slow & builds up at 2 mins. When I’m in a big race I get frustrated at slow crowded starts so I know I don’t need to start jogging till 2mins in

[Jo @MajorRunning]

@UKRunChat I won’t be able to high 5 spectators with my left arm either so I’m going to have to walk on the right.

If you see someone speed walking on the day that will be me.

Well meaning words of encouragement will upset me & add to my frustration but Forest v Everton updates welcome

[Jo @MajorRunning]

@parkrunnertom @UKRunChat Eat carbs with caffeine to help with carb absorption. Practice during training to find the amount that works for you without caffeine side effects. I also drink beetroot in the days before.

[Jo @MajorRunning]

@UKRunChat It’s irritating but not painful. The main issue is not moving my arm whilst the wires are settling. Hence not being able to run. I know I will get frustrated walking but I have run London 11+ times so will be nice to enjoy the crowds and entertainment and not chase a time.

Are you running a UK marathon this spring?
Can you run a Championship or Age Group Masters standard?We would love you to take part in our microbiome study.

No changes to your preparation needed just a diet & training survey & a stool sample before/after the race.

@EllieWardeII @UKRunChat I carry my own and try to have friends with my preferred drinks along the course. I try to find out who is providing official race drinks and practice with them before hand if it’s in a different country as cant take drinks on plane hand if only cabin luggage. #ukrunchat

[Jo @MajorRunning]

If anyone is a County standard sprinter or Championship level marathon runner racing later this year I would love them to help with a gut microbiome study I am running.

Please share with anyone who may be suitable. Thanks
