    A marathon might seem intimidating to many but everyone can benefit from running, from a gentle jog to 5k and up. This campaign from England Athletics might be the way to get started.

    You can also take a look at our Get Inspired guide - or just search for athletics (which includes lots of running clubs) on our Activity Finder.

    It's not all about the marathon finishers' times - it how they inspire others, too. Well done Joei for getting out of the gym and onto the road!

  10. So proud of you, Luke!published at 15:14 British Summer Time 23 April 2017

    Luke Reddy
    BBC Sport reporter at the London Marathon

    If you'll forgive us for bigging up a colleague, it's been a fabulous effort today from BBC Sport's Luke Reddy, who has somehow darted around London in 2:41:04 to finish 341st overall.

    Here are his initial thoughts:

    "It was going great to about 21 miles, then I got a stitch with tiredness kicking in, too. I was on for sub 2:40 but just clung on. PB of 11 years beaten by about 1min 40. Happy enough. Why do we forget how hard these things are between doing them?" 

    Congratulations, Luke. We are in awe.

  13. Keep going!published at 15:05 British Summer Time 23 April 2017

    But don't leave us yet - we'll be staying with you on the live text to bring more stories, shout outs and tweets as runners continue to stream over the line.

    If you're still out there, bits of you will be hurting. But this is what you trained for. Those dark nights and early mornings pounding the pavements this winter were banked for this moment. And if you’re on the sidelines, this is where you make a difference. Those final miles of doubt and fatigue. Cheer and clap until your throat and hands are sore and you know you did your bit.

    Come on… EVERYONE!!!

  14. Want more live coverage?published at 14:59 British Summer Time 23 April 2017

    BBC One's live coverage is coming to an end, but you can still watch live pictures from the marathon.

    Inspirational marathon stories - Haroon Mota

    Haroon MotaImage source, BBC Sport

    Haroon, 31, first ran the London Marathon in 2012. After what he described as a "painful and exhausting experience", he vowed never to do it again.

    But that all changed four years ago, when his father was suddenly killed in a car crash. Haroon wants to honour his dad, who was always striving to make life better for others.

    Running shoes back on, and determined to make his dad proud, Haroon decided to take on the mammoth mission of completing four marathons in one month.

    "He is my motivation and I'm determined to make this challenge a success," Haroon said.

    Haroon is running for the Penny Appeal,, external a global, humanitarian charity working to find water and food solutions, orphan care and medical aid in disaster and conflict areas. Over the four marathons, he aims to raise £20,000 in order to build a Solar Water Power Centre in Africa.

    With three marathons down, London will be biggest challenge yet. But knowing he is making his dad proud, Haroon has all the motivation he needs.
