Every step you take, I’ll be cheering… from a safe, non-running distance but seriously I am super proud of you mate but mostly impressed you voluntarily chose to run 10K.

Go smash it preferably not your knees tho because lets face it you will be the wrong side of 40. You’re an inspiration, good luck bud.

PS - If you do a '' Paula Radcliffe '' I promise I will only bring it up for like 10-15 years max.
