Hi Martyn... there is no reason you shouldnt start running at the weight you are now as long as you take it slow. Why not spend the next 10 weeks following the runnersworld starter plan (link below) and then let me know when need a training plan for the marathon.. .

Well done!

I am stressing out about a Race For Life I am doing on Saturday and here is you ready to run 26.2 miles!!!!

Scope is an amazing charity and if there was any doubt about me sponsoring you it was cleared when I realised you had the same birthday as one of my best friends. Really hope you make your target and will be thinking of you on the day!!

Get your justgiving page set up asap and put the link in your sig.

Well done and good luck!

You are doing amazingly well Martyn. Well done.

Hey Slimpossible, don't worry about Race for Life you will do great. I did one in Central London on June 1st, never done anything like it before and I did it totally on my own. Great atmosphere, some of it sad when they talk about people who have been lost to cancer but all in all wonderful. You can do it.
