In July 2006 at around 20 stone, I found it hard to walk up my own stairs without getting breathless. At this point I decided that I needed to do something. However, I could not do it alone, I had tried before and decided to contact Jez to give me help and advice.. We decided that we would start with brisk 30 minute walks for a start. Golly, how mike mortonunfit i was. I was more than breathless after the first few walks. After a short time, they got easier and I got to know more about Jez and what he was about. I was intrigued on how any one person could run a triathlon. In my ignorance i asked if it was over 3 days. He laughed. The more we spoke the more interested in getting fit I became. Then, out of the blue, I asked about running the London Marathon. He replied ‘anyone can run it, so long as they do the training’. Ok I said, train me. He did. He arranged me a running plan, and we met once each week to do the dreaded long runs. December 2006 I did my first 10 mile run. In 4 months I would be doing 26.2! I actually finished the marathon in April 2007. One of the hottest on record and due to this I had to walk a bit of the way to ensure I did finish. I did it in 7hours. Remarkable achievement in 6 months. From sofa loafer to marathon runner in 6 months. Jez is remarkable. His team helped me tremendously, and I owe him a great deal. My fitness and health have improved dramatically. If you need help, dont call Ghostbusters, but Jez, You wont regret it.
