It's the flattest marathon in Europe, there's also the added advantage of being able to drink copious amounts of very nice beer after you've finished it. Couple of hints: This book is very good for your first marathon, it has a day by day training schedule and some very good advice. This stuff is very good protection against the dreaded joggers/runners nipple. Always go to a reputable running shop and buy decent running shoes (if they are good shop, then they will make you run in your new shoes and check that your gait is correct for that particular shoe type. Best of luck, Billy Hi Wilf,
