Thousands of runners participated in the London Landmarks Half Marathon, raising over 75 million for various charities since its inception in 2018.
My name is Barry and I'm a runner. As a clinically obese 52-year-old Irishman who regularly binge drinks (the NHS's joyless definition, not my own), I would love to be able to say I took up running for health reasons but that would be a lie. Truth be told, I was railroaded into it by my Football Weekly associate Max Rushden, who publicly challenged me to run the London Landmarks Half-Marathon.
