Two marathon runners talk about overcoming the odds to compete in the London Marathon.
"I'm not a runner, I think I've ran once in primary school and secondary school, but I've never really done much since."
Chris, on the other hand, feels he is more than ready, with his prep ranging from light 5k park runs on Saturdays to a training programme of 16 weeks. Chris was inspired to get into running because of Sir Mo Farah's double gold medal-winning performances at London 2012.
