James’s running career began at the age of 11 at school in St Andrews. Scotland. He always enjoyed the fresh air and freedom. When the Chariots of Fire film came out with a running scene filmed on the beach in his home town of St Andrews – inspired, he too ran dreamily along the beach, and so began a life-long love affair with running.
Marathon training is going well he says
“The main thing is to enjoy the experience, not worry about speed and count my blessings for each day without an injury.”
The runs are powered by radio two, salads and a big bowl of pasta the night before running.
He’s looking forward to a pint of beer after the race and is hoping for a finish time of 4.5 hours.
Why is he supporting Orbis?:
