My mum did it a few times.

She did an awful lot of training, not sure exactly how many miles a week, but quite a few!

You could do a google search for "london marathon entries".

Do you run anyway?

I think my uncle trained for it and ran it

I don't know how much training he did etc because running isn't for me and if I remember right then I was in primary school when he ran it

Its not until next May.

You cant enter until Augest 1st at the earliest. surely you could get £60 by then.

You have to do a lot of training. A good 9 months before I'd say, but the more training you do the better you will do.

I started about 3 months ago.

You should start off running 7-8 miles a week at the start of your training and then gradually run more and more each month or every couple of weeks.
