Meet the experts at Marathon Expo

Team Ellis were represented at the Meet the Experts event on Saturday and listenned intently as organisers including the great David Bedford explained their roles, as well as giving some top tips on what to expect on race day and the best way to prepare.


Matt took the opportunity to undergo scientific-type tests which measured every possible aspect of his stride and then recommended the most expensive model of shoe to compliment this. Most of the willing guinea pigs for this revolutionary testing and analysis seemed to be buying the most expensive of the offered shoes which was odd.


After listenning carefully to talks on everything from Fundraising to Injuries and kit to the logistics of hosting the event the afternoon ended with Matt trying hard to stiffle merciless laughter as the Lucozade representative told hilarious one liners such as 'You're more likely to drown than dehydrate on the marathon course', 'there are 750,000 bottles of water available around the course' and 'you'd have to be an absolute idiot to avoid drinking in the 2007 event'.


What a joker...
