Head Coach Gerry Reilly has provided a 15 week Marathon training programme for the 2011 Virgin London Marathon which will take place on sunday 17th april.

The Marathon training programme for this years race has had to be adapted to take into account the earlier date for the race and is set up to make the most of local target events, taking into to account the cancellation of the Thanet 20 in 2011 – the normal 20 mile target race.

Congratulations to all 20 of our runners in this years London Marathon with some brilliant times. Congratulations to the debutants and to Wendy on her PB on her birthday! But pride of place must go to the stunning performances by Sarah, ten minutes inside the elite time and bettering her previous PB by over 8 minutes! And Barbara on her PB and at FV52 only 4 minutes outside the womens elite time! And well done to Joe completing his 16th consecutive London Marathon and 17th in total.
