Ten London Marathon top tips from a ten-time runner
21 March 2024
If you’re running the London Marathon, or training for another race, then ActionAid supporter and Marathon-running expert Martin has some tips for you.
This April, Martin will complete his eleventh consecutive London Marathon for ActionAid since 2013. Throughout the years, he has raised over £30,000 to support women and girls around the world as they tackle injustices and claim their rights.
Speaking about why he continues to support ActionAid in this way, Martin explained:
Rights and support for women and girls should be non-negotiable. Everyone, whatever race, gender or sexuality, is equal. I will continue to fight for a world in which no one is held back by poverty or prejudice from being able to live life to the full."
It’s fair to say Martin knows a thing or two about running the London Marathon by now, so he has shared his top ten tips with us on how to get race-day ready:
Martin’s contribution to ActionAid has been remarkable.
The ActionAid Events team said;
It’s such a pleasure to have Martin join our London Marathon team every year (he’s an ActionAid hero). He’s a true advocate for women and girls' rights, and we’re so grateful for his ongoing support. We can’t wait to give him and the rest of our London Marathon team a big cheer this race day.”
