Just set out on his quest to break the 2hr record for running a marathon. Failed by 26 seconds in his bid 2 yrs ago.
Good luck to him. Remarkable achievement if he does it.

He did it! Thanks for the heads up, that was absolutely amazing, glad I got the chance to watch it :thumbup:
Next time you are in the gym, put the running machine up to 21 and keep going for 26 miles and you get an idea of how quick he ran :thumbup:
Incredibly brave after all that surgery:getscoat:Quote:
