        Virgin London Marathon announced a restriction to its Good For Age entry requirements today for men.

        Previously you only had to run under 3:05 to be guaranteed a spot. Now you need to run under 3:00 (for 18-40yr olds) and it isn't guaranteed - only the first 3,000 entrants get a place. No change to requirements for women.

        eh, would only be a couple months extra training. Considering that even this new standard isn't enough to guarantee entry, you can understand why they're doing it.
