This is amazing. The very clever Bohemian Arcade created this tour of the whole marathon course, done with Google Street View. It’s inspiring and terrifying in equal quantities.
Todays lesson: if you want a quick reality check, and a bit of a kick up the bum, look at London Marathon clips on YouTube. I can’t wait to run tonight, and when I feel tired and my legs are heavy and I want to stop, I’m going to remember that in April I have to keep on going for 26.2 miles, leaden legs and all.
haha rule #1 of any race: never ever look up the course in advance
but glad it’s given you motivation. i’m assuming youre running london?
