How old u gotta be to run the london marathon??
Posted by malawe on 12/4/2007
It's 18 for a marathon. I think it's 17 for a half and
15 for 10k.

Tips for a beginner, try running on softer surfaces to begin
with it's harder work but will do less damage to your legs.

Take it
steady, yes make yourself work hard, but don't do too much when you aren't used
to it.

If you enjoy running after a couple of testers, go to a proper
running shop (not JJB or SSportnSoccer/Sportsworld) and have your gait analysed,
they will then recommend you a proper pair of running shoes.

Listen to
your body.
