The road to London ‘25
If you have made it this far, you have probably had the pleasure of meeting Daz (N), Daz (K), or Lissi. This is the page to track our progress as we tackle the one item on everyone’s bucket list: the London Marathon.
Meet the runners…
Daz Nicholls
The real brains behind the operation and the inspiration for this challenge. It’s all about giving it a go! “Weeman” covers the ground like a Speke’s gazelle while sweating less than a cactus in the desert!
Lissi Kittendorf
The lucky ballot winner that started this whole palava. Never one to miss an opportunity to buy new shoes, the marathon adventure has opened a whole new level of “investment”.
Daz Kittendorf
More giraffe than gazelle I’m the “technical” mastermind of the blog. That or Lissi has just nagged me long enough to document this journey, warts and all. Unlike Weeman, I sweat more than a pregnant nun…
Sponsorship
Of course we want your money! As a trio, we have decided to raise money for The Teenage Cancer Trust. If you can spare any change to spur us on our way, you can do so on our official charity page. Tea, cake and running chat will be given in thanks!

1657.62
km’s and counting!
Lissi’s Foot Pain Level (FPL): 7+ (we’re not talking about it!)
Weeks 14, 15, 16 – The Taper…
This may be the shortest post of the lot, because it’s the night before the night before the big day and the one top tip everyone says is to get plenty of sleep in the days leading up to the marathon.
The taper started in week 14 with each of us completing half marathons. Something that just 12 months ago would have meant similar levels of preparation to the marathon, is now tackled as taper week is huge insight into just how far we have all come.
