I did the Glasgow marathon once...the whole 26 pints and 3 curries

Friend of mine did Comrades this year (the uphill route, downhill next year) and said it was a great experience.

I've just read that, it's good.

I'm training for the Flora London next year, got my charity place with the BHF to sort out, only 2 grand to raise though, eek!

Never done anything like this before, wish me luck

A friend of mine has done the Comrades a number of times - nutter.

The three phases of travel - as you get older and richer you move up the scale:

1) Run
2) Cycle
2a) Public transport
3) Drive
