'I set out at a relatively comfortable pace, tucking in behind the 4h15 pacemaker and ended up following him the entire way round! I'm so chuffed to have completed my first marathon and even happier to have smashed my fundraising target. As for my plans going forward, I'll definitely be entering more marathons in the future!'
Scott finished in 4:51:16. He's raised £720 so far for Havens Hospice, which will doubled by a donation from his employer.
'I'm just relived it's done! It was a great experience and the crowd were amazing. I'm glad I completed my second marathon and beat my time from last year!'

'I'm still in shock that I actually managed to get round, and I'm definitely feeling it now! But the reaching the end was one of the best feelings ever. It was emotional. I crossed the line crying my eyes out!
I don't think I could've done it without the support of my friends and family, and the whole crowd along the way. The event really wouldn't be the same without them. I'm really chuffed that we've raised so much money. It's only right for me to carry on, do more and raise more.
To anyone out there considering a marathon: do it. It was hands down the most rewarding experience of my life.'
