If you want an easy and fast journey, without any great concern for the cost, then you can get a train ticket Leuchars-London, and if you get the right train, it will take you all the way to London without any changes, and its a fast train. If you leave St Andrews at about 7am, you'll be in the capital for lunch. Only problem with that is that, especially for tickets only a fortnight away, it will likely cost rather a lot.
You might manage to get cheaper train tickets on the megabus site, which could work for you. I'd recommend not using Megabus for travelling down or back. I did that once, and swore never to do it again, regardless of how cheap it is. The driver on the trip down was astonishingly rude and the toilet broke. The trip back left London at 23:50, got into Dundee at about 9am, and was hellish. It was jam-packed and the air-conditioning broke, so we all sweltered. I've been better hydrated at the the end of half-marathons.
