Dear Mr and Mrs Dog Walker, Thank you for allowing your lovely dog to join in my training run this week.

Want to know which celebrities to look out for running the 2011 Virgin London Marathon and when to expect to see them. Check out our run down with their predicted finishing times and the charities they are running for.
Most of us long distance runners do not come with an ample bosom but we still need to wear specific sports bra to prevent damage to the breast tissue.

The standard entry for this year’s Kilomathon race from Derby to Nottingham is £45 equal to a whopping £2.76 mile. Although promoted as a London Marathon training race to reduce the fee to £5 you need to fund raise £260, on top of the £1,500 plus many runners are raising to run London. With the popularity of the general public participating in challenging sporting events and the reduction of people giving to charities is this the start of companies seeing runners as an easy target for raising money through sponsorship and increased entry fees.
