OPINION - London Marathon 2024: it's not the race I can't stand, it's the social media humblebragging before
The email arrives earlier every year. Somewhere between readers kindly pointing out a typo in yesterday’s newsletter (I still wake up in cold sweats thinking about “guilt-edged”) and PRs breathlessly informing me that one-in-four British couples disagree over room temperature, it reads: “We have some spaces for the London Marathon. Would you like one? First come, first served.” Phew. It’s not a Vietnam War-style draft, then.
