"I have great admiration for them, they've done as much training and more than me and I take my hat off to these type of people."When I came out of the theatre I asked if I could run again and he said, 'The biggest issue with you is giving it some time to rest and settle in'."“I wouldn’t be a great organiser, all I have to do is put on my running shoes and go on out. Whatever happens after that is what it is.
