#335 - London Marathon 2026: What Really Happens Out There

London Marathon 2026 isn't just a race. It's one of the greatest days in the sporting calendar and in this episode, we take you through every single moment of the experience, from the electric atmosphere of the expo to the euphoria of crossing that iconic finish line on The Mall, and everything that comes after. We also share some of our favourite London Marathon anecdotes!

Whether you're a ballot lucky winner lacing up for the very first time, a club runner chasing a new PB, or a charity warrior who's been fundraising for month, this episode is your ultimate insider's guide to the world's most beloved marathon.

We cover it all:

The Expo - what to expect at the London Marathon expo, what to grab, and what to skip
Race morning logistics - getting to Blackheath, the start pens, and keeping your nerves in check
The course - mile by mile, from Greenwich Park through the Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge and beyond
The iconic landmarks - running past Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, and Big Ben like you own the city
The Wall - the truth about miles 18-20 and how to run through it, not into it
The Mall finish - what it actually feels like to sprint down the most famous finishing straight in marathon running
The finish line experience - medals, mylar blankets, and emotions you'll never forget
Post-race recovery - what your body needs and how to celebrate one of the biggest days of your life
