“My first, third sixth and seventh marathons were all sub four hour finishes. I the whole of the seven days I slept in a bed for only four hours.
“All other times I had to sleep on the plane or in airports.”
He received a boost when his wife and five friends surprised him by tunring up to cheer up on for the fifth marathon in Marrakech, which give him a great boost as he was feeling quite tired.
