 10-part state on a Sunday morning in April in Paris What are we gonna do why not run a marathon? So the gang is together. This is my seventh Paris marathon Number one first time Our legs mine and Richard's legs are absolutely trashed We're supposed to be pacing our wives Think about Paris is it's so packed. There are more people that run Paris than London So you really have to make sure that you get in your cue for your pen early enough to be on time really After we've all gone there's a massive clear-up operation and you can see all the detritus on the floor that people just drop bottles jumpers, coats So we go up two different sides of the street So the left-hand side of the street will go off and the right-hand side of the street will go off They go up in waves People miss the sites on the Paris Marathon because they're so concentrated on running So that is the Louvre so this is Hotel de Ville basically the town hall, the city hall Almost every year the firemen stretch their ladder over the road at the Paris Marathon. I did it again this year So here we are at Bastille at about 5k It's the first water station here as well. So it gets very crowded So we're at 8km in 46 minutes Okay, we're just coming into the water in Chenes at 10k and that's in 57 minutes. So we're on schedule So we're just passing the beautiful Chateau de Vincennes We're about seven miles now 13 and a half kilometers in One hour 17 minutes still running through the park here at Vincennes Vincennes Vincennes, what's the Vincennes there? In the Paris Marathon we are falling behind now two hours and a minute Victoria's starting to get a bit of cramp. She's feeling it in the heat So we're just going to chill out and see how we do So here at about 14 to 15 miles we drop down to run by the same All along the route at the Paris Marathon you'll get photographers taking a picture like this Can't quite see it, I've missed it now Look behind those things over there, it's Notre Dame Cathedral Hey guys, there's Notre Dame look Big long tunnel 16 miles into the Paris Marathon Cools you off of it because it's well ventilated but it goes off for quite a while So we're at 16 miles, 16 and a half miles Victoria's absolutely shattered in the heat, it really is hot So we're taking a walking break for a bit Just passing another water station What you will notice about Paris is that they are very good at clearing up their litter They've got these bins all along the route after you've hit a water station So we're back at Place de la Concorde There's the wheel that we passed at the beginning So we're now heading past the Eiffel Tower So many people have focused on their racing at the Paris Marathon They completely missed the Eiffel Tower And there are big signs here Saying look left, look left Big water station here Right opposite the Eiffel Tower So we're just coming up to 30 kilometers in exactly three hours So we're about 12 minutes behind schedule The manner now Just passed 20 miles in three hours, 15 minutes Victoria's really struggling, Blaster She's doing the best she can in this heat I've been throwing loads of water over myself So we've got just under 10km to go now Just passed 35km in 336 1050 minutes Hopefully we'll get in in 4 hours and 30 or just before This only appeared on the Paris Marathon circuit a year ago For the first time This is the Louis Vuitton Another thing that's really good about the Paris Marathon Compared to maybe London Is that you get an aid station at the end of the race So all this food at the end of the race You wouldn't get that in London I don't know about Berlin or New York But another reason I always think that Paris needs to be a major Because it's so much better than so many other marathons See it just shows it's a big leap from a 146 half marathon To a 4 hour marathon 19 minute PV is not to be sniffed at Come on then Tell me, tell me, tell me Yes So you wanted 430 didn't you Brilliant That's all we've got for you from the Paris Marathon 2018 Victoria gets a PB Tanya gets a PB by default Because it's her first marathon ever Well done Tanya Never again And that's it So join us for another marathon Another time Take care Bye
