IT’S LONDON<br />
– BUT NOT AS<br />
WE KNOW IT<br />
WITH all the world’s athleticswatching<br />
eyes trained on London,<br />
it seemed only right that we devote<br />
this issue of Running Monthly to the<br />
marathons that are about to unfold<br />
in the heart of the city.<br />
This is going to be a very different<br />
celebration of running compared<br />
to the annual extravaganza which<br />
plays out every April – remember,<br />
it takes place over a looped course<br />
rather than following the well-known<br />
route for starters – but it will make<br />
for compelling viewing.<br />
For some of the British team, this<br />
is when dreams are about to be<br />
realised as they take to their first<br />
global championships.<br />
For others, such as Callum<br />
Hawkins, this is the next step on a<br />
career which well and truly took off<br />
in the UK capital in spring last year.<br />
We’ve spoken to some great<br />
athletes, crammed in plenty of<br />
details about the races<br />
and we’ve even thrown<br />
in a course map.<br />
Enjoy the party!<br />
