00:00I've never run one, have no plans of running one. I think runners are suspicious people, they're always finding things in parks and things like that. The runners and the dog walkers, they're always the ones you've got to watch out for.
00:09I do know quite a lot of people that have done marathons and half marathons in the last few years. I think it seems to be a thing of my generation to just start running marathons apparently when you turn my age.
00:21I've actually run the London Marathon twice. I'm hoping to do it again for the brain tumour charity. It's in support of my wife's illness that she had last year. But yeah, no, it's a great event, really fantastic atmosphere and yeah, very much all for that.
00:35One of the lads I went to college with there did the marathon and had to stop for a cigarette, so...
00:40And I have been asked a couple of times but I have said no just because I know that they're quite competitive to get into and I don't think I could complete a training plan in time for the actual marathon.
00:54I've never ran a marathon. I don't like running because it does your knees in. I like cycling.
