Olympics here I come!

By editor - Posted on April 1st, 2008

I had an amazing piece of news yesterday. You will all no doubt be aware that in 12 days I will be doing my third London Marathon.

A friend of mine on the British Olympics selection panel got in touch, and apparently they are trying to promote the marathon in time for 2012 so they have made a few places available in the team that goes to Beijing for ordianry people who will do all they can to promote the event.

So as long as I complete the London course. it sounds like a place is mine!

Doesn't sound good to me

You realise this means that you cannot show any sign of weakness during the marathon and need to complete it in sub-2h 30mins?  Nothing else will do if you're going to promote this country abroad!

Good luck Jonathan, hope you manage to get an interview with the Maasai warriors I saw on TV this morning.
