Quarantine could not stop one London man from achieving his goal of running a half marathon while supporting a good cause.
"I saw a video of an Italian man doing a full marathon on his balcony and I thought, 'that's something I can do'," Mr Hustler told Sky News while running on his balcony.
The Woodford man had run just under four miles in an hour when he spoke to Sky News, and had quite quickly realised the challenges of running in a confined and uncomfortable space."I'm feeling incredibly bored," he said. He credited his podcast list, music collection and encouragement from his girlfriend Chloe, who cheered him on from inside his flat, for keeping him going.
"I'm running for the Haven House Children's Hospice, which is a local charity that I've known for a long time and is opposite my cricket club," he said.
