"The most amazing thing is, I’ve done quite a bit of training and I sort of think I’m pretty fit, but there was so many people in front of me. It is amazing, that’s the thing here. "People have put so much effort in to competing in the London Marathon and doing it for so many amazing charities. That’s what is so special and it’s actually a bit emotional around the route as well when you see so many people giving it their all and the crowd going crazy as well. So it was really cool," added the 2009 world champion. "It’s such an amazing atmosphere out there and whoever they are shouting for and screaming for it’s very emotional. You definitely have a tear in your eye at many times around the course, some of it because of the pain and some of it because of the great atmosphere,” explained Jenson Button.
