Kev you cannot be called Superman because we call Si Scott that so I am hoping to think of something appropriate before Leicester. You are such an inspiration to anyone with or without PCa, to run one marathon after 5 lots of chemo is a truly awesome achievement to run 2 in a fortnight and at 10 mins a mile with a niggling knee injury is just incredible.

You must take up motivational speaking I would love to hear your story of your preparation and how you manage the miles and do so much for a cause you truly believe in.

I salute you for you are someone I feel privileged and truly honoured to know.

Couldn't agree with you more, Mo.

Hi kev

Congratulations to you, 2 marathons in such a short space of time and after 5 chemo treatments WOW I take my hat off to you!

There must be some good stuff in that chemo!!!

Make sure you enjoy some relaxation time to recoup.

Well done Kevin. I was in London this morning, though for a different event and it was manic,
Where ever you went here were poeple, and the journey home was a nightmare.

So pleased you finished and in such good time too.

A real inspiration to the rest of us

congratultions kevin, I along with a few other supporters ran in London today, it was really good weather for the event, support groups along the way where awesome, must apologise for geting a bit emotional at the support group at 22miles, it all sarted to hit me, how I am the fact its my last ever marathon, but the big foam hand I picked up did the trick along the way got plenty of reaction from the crowd

Hi Bladerunner,

Well done in completing the London Marathon.  It must have been a really great day.  I watched all the coverage, very envious of everyone there.

I hope to do it one year, I keep entering the ballot each year.  Not sure if it will ever work out for me.

Congrats Irun and Bladerunner. Great job. Hope you make it next year Steve. I am sure running helps those being treated for Pca. Gives one goals to strive for and running is a great anxiety reducer. Georgina

Well done bladerunner.

We saw some of the competitors at the stations when we were on our way home from London. All wrapped in their foil cloaks,  They looked mostly exhausted!

So saw oncol today as 6 weeks after last RT.

PSA now 0.4 , oncol said it was amazing and believes that my diet and exercise have made a big difference. Said he thought it would have been much higher as my initial spread was so much.

So now it's 2 monthly bloods and get on with training for the Marathon Des Sables April 2016. I am running 60 miles a week, hurts like hell, but desperate to be fastest finisher with advanced prostate cancer ever.

For those out there who let others tell you how you should feel, I say forget them and feel like your body tells you to, I am lucky, my body said you feel ok so go for it however whatever anyone says never give up and push a bit.

Great news Kev with the stats.

I'm sure that exercise and diet have a massive affect.

I'm not surprised it hurts like hell doing 60 miles a week, I'm doing only 15 miles a week at the moment and that hurts like hell. I can't imagine 60/ week.

Great message and inspiring

Kev

342 to 0.4 amazing wow.

I am sure your attitude, fitness and the treatment you have had so far have all contributed.

If your body is telling you that you are coping then it must be right.

When I first guessed you were doing Des Sables I told myself I was crazy... So glad I was wrong!!

As Healey says you are inspirational not just for the runners and athletes or for that matter men with PCa, but for anyone with something to strive towards.

Best wishes to you and your family

Xx

Well done Kev...I know you will achieve your goal mate.

I didn't realise you had changed your diet. Is it a radical change or just a balanced diet
