How to complete a Full Marathon.
1) Training – don’t bother, you’ll just get your shoes dirty.
2) A week before the event – Panic. Remember, the race is all about managing your emotions (and taking photographs.)
3) The night before the event, go out with friends to the pub and drink. Alcohol has magical properties to let you forget that you’re about to follow the footsteps of someone who died when he reached Athens, and people barely remember his name.
4) Morning of the race – pop two aspirins and down it with the strongest Italian coffee you can legally find.
5) Run – this is easy, just place one foot in front of the other and it’s important to have a confident and athletic stride. Don’t worry about sweat or pain, those can be easily photoshoped out later.
