By Sophie Raworth Verified| Runner's World UK Verified I collapsed during my first London Marathon. It was at mile 24. I just blacked out and fell to the ground. I’d known something wasn’t right for a while because my heart was racing and I was struggling to run in a straight line. I thought that I was hitting ‘The Wall’, the much feared moment in a marathon when you’re not far from the end but your body is screaming at you that it has had enough. Most people walk a bit and then push on. My body had other ideas.
By Sophie Raworth Verified| Runner's World UK Verified I have been to my first parkrun funeral. It was a surprisingly uplifting farewell. I arrived at the church on Kew Green in south west London on a beautifully crisp and sunny autumnal day. The hearse was just drawing up, alongside a queue of people filing in. In front of me was a man wearing trainers and a ‘parkrun 100’ jacket. I knew I was in the right place. Inside it was packed. A huge photograph of a beaming Serge Lourie smiling at us all as we went in.
