1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,800
Hello mate, Hello. 
How's it going all? 

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,880
Right. 
Looking a bit different. 

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,000
I don't know what this is. 
I'm not. 

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,280
I'm just passed. 
I don't care anymore. 

5
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,640
Yeah. 
Nice T-shirt mate. 

6
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,520
I like your T-shirt too. 
Nice medal mate. 

7
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,840
Nice medal. 
Yes, we did it. 

8
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,080
We absolutely did it. 
I saw people on kind of social 

9
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,320
media like going into their work
meetings on video call on like 

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,800
zoom meetings wearing all of 
their gear. 

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,640
One guy was like on a on a gel. 
Just having a little sports gel.

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,440
He's like this, just eating this
sports gel on a on the Monday 

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,800
morning I was. 
Just using this like a pass 

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,560
trying to get into the building.
Why is it not working? 

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Mate it was the underground bit 
I liked. 

16
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Yes, go. 
Just. 

17
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,440
It was like a free pass on the 
underground. 

18
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,160
Just show it. 
Wouldn't you show it free 

19
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,800
travel? 
And I could just go anywhere I 

20
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,600
like. 
Awesome, so you recovered. 

21
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,760
I think so. 
I actually went for a run. 

22
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,560
Was it yesterday or day before? 
First run since the marathon. 

23
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,280
How'd that go? 
Didn't it went OK? 

24
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,600
Was it? 
Yeah, 5 1/2 K just to see how 

25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,880
the legs are going. 
Can we? 

26
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
I just want to touch this bit 
which I thought was was fucking 

27
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,760
hilarious the day before. 
I think so. 

28
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,720
This was on the Friday you were 
shopping for trainers. 

29
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,240
Yes, that's right. 
Yeah. 

30
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,200
Yeah. 
So apparently before you do a 

31
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880
marathon, you're supposed to do 
some training. 

32
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,960
Yeah, that's the first mistake I
made. 

33
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,360
And you're supposed to run in 
the trainers that you've been 

34
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,280
wearing for that bit of 
training. 

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Obviously I realised the 
trainers I had, these are the 

36
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,280
best bit. 
Yeah, these are the best. 

37
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,000
So these are the trainers I 
walked for the Paris half 

38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Marathon and I was wondering why
I had bad knees. 

39
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,600
I thought they were running 
trainers. 

40
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,520
And then I was like, looking at 
everybody else's training game. 

41
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Mine are slightly different. 
Running trainers look different.

42
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Don't they? 
They do look different yeah. 

43
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,880
They look like space age kind of
yeah foamy and everything else 

44
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,560
like that so mine were very 
different Took a photo of it put

45
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,920
on ChatGPT so these trainers for
like. 

46
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Dude, these are slippers. 
Yeah, these are clogs. 

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,720
What are clogs? 
Yeah. 

48
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,760
Dutch bastard, what are you 
doing? 

49
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,600
And it just said no, these are 
like for five KS or like going 

50
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,520
to the gym. 
I was like, you need some proper

51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,000
trainers. 
So yeah, Friday had to go to up 

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,720
and running in. 
Town up and running St Big Up up

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,000
and running St. 
Thank you very much. 

54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,640
They sorted me out. 
They recommended some trainers 

55
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:14,920
said size up, size half a size 
up as well. 

56
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,400
Protect your toes and your 
toenails. 

57
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080
So yeah, Ka Ching bought the 
trainers and some shorts because

58
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
they need those as well. 
And yeah, do you know what did? 

59
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:25,160
You notice a difference. 
I know it's a difference. 

60
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Yeah, I know. 
It's a difference. 

61
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
No pain in the feet? 
Absolutely fine. 

62
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,560
No blisters? 
No. 

63
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,280
Toenails coming in, of course. 
Yeah, you're. 

64
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,640
In Yeah, so yeah, I think last 
time I had like, I took my shoe 

65
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:38,880
off and there's a horrible 
bloody sock with half a toenail 

66
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920
stuck to it, which is nice. 
Yeah. 

67
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,520
So no this time, yeah. 
But yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm not 

68
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,640
going to pass on the back too 
much, but I'm amazed that was 0 

69
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,320
training and then just rocking 
up there. 

70
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,960
Yeah. 
Which isn't recommended, by the 

71
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,960
way. 
No, definitely not. 

72
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Definitely not recommended. 
But the sheer willpower of just 

73
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,560
forcing ourselves to get round 
there. 

74
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,800
And I understand what people say
about dark times. 

75
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Yeah, like it starts off really.
I'm convincing myself. 

76
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,960
Sun shining. 
Oh, it's so everyone. 

77
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,280
'S getting excited about all the
all the support staff are going 

78
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000
you guys are all amazing and. 
We're like. 

79
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,120
Yeah, I know we are. 
And then like. 

80
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,960
And then yeah, you hit this 
horrible part. 

81
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,920
I think mine was about 25 K 
through, just hit this like 

82
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,040
horrible straight bit. 
Do you know where you can see 

83
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,640
the runners coming back from 
Canary Wharf? 

84
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,080
That that did me. 
That straight bit and. 

85
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,680
I because I was looking, because
you're looking at the sun, you 

86
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,960
could see what mile there or 
what mile. 

87
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,800
There 35K yeah. 
And then we were like, I think 

88
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,440
the start of that bits like 201K
or 22K and I'm like, Oh my God, 

89
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,200
there's another 13 K before I 
can loop around and get back to 

90
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,440
there. 
And you're starting to. 

91
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,560
And they were hanging as well. 
You can see them coming back, 

92
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,320
that they look in shit state. 
Yeah. 

93
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,680
And they're way ahead of me. 
Yeah, Oh my God. 

94
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,840
I've got that to look forward to
in a. 

95
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Minute. 
Yeah, you just, you just, yeah, 

96
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,880
you start hitting that dark 
place, yeah. 

97
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,640
And it's difficult to get back 
out of it, but you just got like

98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,520
one step in front of another. 
Yeah, yeah. 

99
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Yeah, I did. 
I did not give that the respect 

100
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,800
it deserved. 
Personally, this is just me. 

101
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,920
I like, yeah, I was humbled 
about 14 miles in, 1314 miles 

102
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,320
in. 
I was massively humbled. 

103
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,920
Oh, yeah. 
And it wasn't even my heart and 

104
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,720
lungs that were given. 
That wasn't the problem. 

105
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,160
It was just the mechanics of my 
body were going Nah mate, Nah, 

106
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,280
Nah. 
Exactly the same here. 

107
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:28,800
Hamstrings, feet were. 
Just the lack of training like 

108
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,120
the the the hip getting sore on 
the left hand side and you 

109
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,920
obviously you're readjusting 
your run technique. 

110
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,240
So then your right side, your 
calf starts going and then but 

111
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,360
you're breathing absolutely 
fine. 

112
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,080
Yeah, fine. 
But yeah, you realise that's why

113
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,800
you do the training, Yeah. 
Yeah, So it was, I think, yeah, 

114
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,520
we should probably just talk 
about it a little bit. 

115
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Like, it was a slick event, 
wasn't it? 

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,320
I mean, the amount of people 
that were there, Clockwork, it 

117
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,320
was insane. 
How? 

118
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,360
How well? 
Was it organised just under 

119
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,600
60,000 people? 
Yeah. 

120
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,440
And they they've organised in 
such a way like. 

121
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
The waves. 
Is it just a wave to go there 

122
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,280
where you drop your your kit off
to be collected after the event 

123
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:10,760
and serves massive trucks? 
Yeah. 

124
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Everybody knew what they were 
doing. 

125
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,760
Yeah. 
It was amazing. 

126
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,720
So like first time London 
Marathon as we turn up image 

127
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Park and we're just like walking
around and it like there was no 

128
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,200
stress was there. 
I knew exactly what to do just. 

129
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640
Well, I was partly stressed when
I needed to go for a for a wee 

130
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:28,000
and I saw the queue and I was 
like, oh. 

131
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,560
My God, the queue. 
That's the queue. 

132
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,480
That must have been over a cool.
Luckily, that wasn't for the 

133
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520
urinals. 
No, the men's and the women's 

134
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,560
urinals were much more easy to. 
Last, they were moving quickly. 

135
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,960
But the the standard port 
cabins. 

136
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Was. 
Insane. 

137
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,560
I was a bit stressed when I saw 
that, but yeah, it was it was 

138
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,600
slick and it started well. 
Atmosphere was amazing. 

139
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,880
The people there were just not 
the supporters. 

140
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,080
What, someone else? 
It's what does someone say? 

141
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,320
It's the closest feeling you'll 
ever get to be in like a 

142
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,040
footballer with people just 
chanting your name. 

143
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Chanting it, Yeah, superb. 
People because obviously I've 

144
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,800
had Gaza on there. 
Everyone kept I've, I've not 

145
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,440
been called Gaza since I was 
like, it's school, go on Gaza, 

146
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,000
go on. 
You've got this, Gaza. 

147
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520
At first it's like, yeah. 
And then after a while you just 

148
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,880
like, stop. 
Shouting my message, Jesus. 

149
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,640
When you get to about 30 
kilometres in and you're just 

150
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,080
like you're walking, barely 
walking and the people are 

151
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,280
going, you've still got this. 
You can do this. 

152
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,720
No, I haven't. 
It's just like thumbs up. 

153
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Yeah, yeah, I've I've got this. 
But yeah, it just just what an 

154
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,520
effort. 
Yeah, it was somewhere else 

155
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,760
wasn't. 
It what an effort it was 

156
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,080
somewhere else. 
The support round there is like 

157
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,480
hitting cut your sock is a big 
milestone. 

158
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,960
That was cool. 
Just going around there and the 

159
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,640
noise that comes from that 
section. 

160
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680
I didn't get a chance to 
actually take too much in of the

161
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,120
actual ship itself. 
No, neither did I because I was 

162
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
just like, well, Mish, I knew 
Mish had been texting me saying 

163
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,880
that she was arranged there 
somewhere. 

164
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
So a lot of it you don't have 
missed the people you know, 

165
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880
dear. 
So a lot of it you kind of just 

166
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,640
looking left and right because 
you don't know where they're 

167
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,280
going to be. 
So you're not really paying any 

168
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,440
attention to actually what's 
going on around you like the 

169
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,680
ship, you know, So you just, 
you're constantly like looking 

170
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:16,920
around. 
Scanning in the crowd and. 

171
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,880
The other thing is everyone's 
shouting your name, so you you 

172
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,280
don't know if it's your, if it's
your partner or whatever that's 

173
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,880
showing your name or if it's 
just random. 

174
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,840
But yeah, I didn't take much in 
the Tower Bridge. 

175
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,320
That was awesome. 
That was a struggle. 

176
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,520
It was like this long incline. 
Yeah, but then you see it in the

177
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,320
distance, but then you see 
everybody else getting like 

178
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920
really pumped up for it. 
And then that you try and get 

179
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,880
pumped up because you know as 
well the BBC have a camera there

180
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120
and you don't want to be blowing
out your ass. 

181
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,000
Well, even though you are 
blowing out your ass, you don't 

182
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,560
want anybody to see you blowing 
out your ass. 

183
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,360
So you fake it and you get a 
good run on just for the camera.

184
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120
I looked at some of the folks, 
there's a lot of photographers 

185
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,200
as well, wasn't there? 
So you can, you can buy the, the

186
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,080
photos online and I, I bought 
them like £40. 

187
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,960
It's amazing how many photos 
there are of you and how few of 

188
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,080
them you want to show to anybody
because you just look like 

189
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,360
you're hanging. 
You look miserable on 90% of 

190
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,920
those photos. 
Yeah, apart from the fake one. 

191
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,520
We put your hands in the air. 
Yeah. 

192
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680
I think the best 1 I had was 
actually near the end, but I was

193
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,440
only happy because I knew I was 
near the end. 

194
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,559
Yeah, like I'd love to do it 
again, but I want to train. 

195
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,360
I I didn't like I said, I didn't
give the respect it deserved. 

196
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,159
And the other thing is when you 
when you realise how many people

197
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:43,080
apply to do it and never get in.
And we were fortunate enough to 

198
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,000
do it because we were doing it 
for ambitious about autism, 

199
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,880
something about I finished it 
and I was like, yeah, I need to,

200
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
I need to give that the respect 
it deserves next time around, 

201
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,120
just need to train. 
Do. 

202
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,800
You know what I got 2/3 of the 
way around and I was saying 

203
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,560
never again. 
I am never ever doing a marathon

204
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,600
again. 
Lots of chance. 

205
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,760
And then I finished it and I 
said something similar. 

206
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,880
And then the following morning I
said, I know what's going to 

207
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,800
happen here you. 
Could feel it. 

208
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,440
I could. 
I could. 

209
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Feel it because I know what 
we're like. 

210
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,800
We would just go that time if we
had trained. 

211
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,280
Could we get it down 
considerably? 

212
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,560
That's it. 
That's what you started doing. 

213
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,920
It's like, if I could do that 
without any training, what can I

214
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,800
do with training? 
And then I message you and 

215
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,000
you're like, yeah, we're doing 
it again, aren't we? 

216
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Yeah, we're doing it again. 
So we're going to try our best 

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
to represent ambitious about 
autism next year. 

218
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Yeah, we should probably thank 
everybody actually for all their

219
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,160
donations. 
We should. 

220
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,280
We'll come back to that, Yeah. 
So we're going to try and do it 

221
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600
next year. 
But because we've done the 

222
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,960
London Marathon, we know that's 
one of the Abbott's majors. 

223
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Tick tock. 
If we signed up for that the day

224
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,000
after, in fact, you sent me a 
screenshot and I was like, well,

225
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,760
I've got to sign up for it now. 
Yeah. 

226
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,320
So we know there could be a 
place in Berlin next year. 

227
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,680
Yeah, that would be two of the 
majors Tick. 

228
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:09,640
Tock. 
So what are what are this? 

229
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Is it 7? 
I think it's there's a, there's 

230
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,360
a six star medal, which is the 
original 1. 

231
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,680
So that's London, Berlin. 
Then we go to Chicago. 

232
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,640
Boston, The tough one. 
Yeah, New York, Tokyo. 

233
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,560
Tokyo. 
Tokyo's probably one of the last

234
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,120
ones people do just because 
getting. 

235
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,640
There, getting there would be 
hard, yeah. 

236
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040
And Boston's incredibly hard to 
get into as well. 

237
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,560
Is it? 
Yeah, they're, they're quite 

238
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,000
strict on you've got to be able 
to run under a certain time. 

239
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,520
Yeah. 
So that's us out unless you get 

240
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,080
a charity space or a sponsored 
space or something like that. 

241
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,880
But yeah, they're the six 
original ones. 

242
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,240
But Abbott's have extended it 
now where I think Sydney's now 

243
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,000
counted as a A major and they're
thinking about introducing Cape 

244
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Town and Shanghai in the future.
But even if they do, there's 

245
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,760
still the six star medal that 
you get for the original. 

246
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,640
Shanghai would be made. 
All of them would be. 

247
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,160
I think Shanghai does have 
issues with the air quality. 

248
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,640
Yeah, I can imagine sometimes. 
So that's something to bear in 

249
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,600
mind. 
But yeah, to do to do those six 

250
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,320
and to do it very ambitious 
about autism. 

251
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,720
Yeah, it'd be so cool. 
Be something. 

252
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,560
Special, Yeah. 
All of those for the same 

253
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:23,120
charity would be amazing. 
It's weird how like we've gone a

254
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,120
bit psycho since not wanting to 
do any running ever again. 

255
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Now we want to conquer. 
It now we want to do all the 

256
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,280
running. 
We want to do it all. 

257
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,880
The training is just totally 
zoned in. 

258
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,760
We're all looking at kit to buy.
Going out for training runs post

259
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,200
the marathon as well now, 
because yeah, we, we signed up 

260
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,600
to do the Oxford half literally 
I think 2 days afterwards we're 

261
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,120
like, hey, let's go and do the 
Oxford half are ambitious about 

262
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,560
autism. 
So we've got that in October. 

263
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,080
And I think what what's the 
really fantastic thing as well 

264
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:05,640
is we have somehow convinced or 
bullied some other dads who have

265
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,600
been on the podcast previously 
for the first time to get their 

266
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,440
shoes out, start training and 
they've signed up to do the 

267
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Oxford half as well. 
They. 

268
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,680
Haven't you know what? 
It didn't take a lot it. 

269
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,240
Didn't take a. 
Lot it wasn't like and I think I

270
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,040
think for me and I know you're 
the same. 

271
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,560
We've we've talked about the 
whole. 

272
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Being around. 
What's going to happen, you 

273
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,080
know, when we're, when we're no 
longer here and stuff like that.

274
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,520
And then any of you very 
quickly, if you think again, 

275
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,040
this is just me. 
I, I know because I didn't put 

276
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520
the effort in to train, didn't 
give it the respect it deserved.

277
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,600
You then start and me and you 
talked about it. 

278
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,880
We were like, we talked about 
this whole being around as long 

279
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,120
as we can for our kids. 
But if we're honest with 

280
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,800
ourselves, are we doing 
everything we can? 

281
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,720
100% now to. 
Be around as long as we can for 

282
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,880
our kids. 
We, we. 

283
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,720
Me personally, I'll do it when 
it's convenient, yeah. 

284
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,320
Same. 
And when the days are hard and 

285
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,600
it's been particularly tough, 
I'll take the easy route out and

286
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,560
that's got to stop. 
Yeah, say it's the same. 

287
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,080
I was talking to one of the lads
in the in the stem and whistle. 

288
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,440
It was James and he said, he 
said how did it go? 

289
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Asked him some questions about 
it. 

290
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,120
And I said the same. 
I was like, you know, I could, I

291
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,360
could have done, could have done
better. 

292
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,160
And he said quite comforting. 
He said, but mate, you know, 

293
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,760
apparently I'm an autistic kid. 
You just don't have the time. 

294
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,960
And I went thank you mate, but I
find the time to lift weights. 

295
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,920
Yeah, So that time for me hasn't
been an issue. 

296
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,880
I've been managing to go to the 
gym to lift weights because I 

297
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
enjoy lifting weights. 
I don't enjoy running. 

298
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,400
Well, I didn't. 
I'd like and love it now. 

299
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,920
But I think it's easy that you 
give you make excuses for 

300
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,320
yourself. 
If you're really honest with 

301
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,040
yourself, like you just said, 
then make it you kind of go, 

302
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,520
yeah. 
Do you know what I could I could

303
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,320
do? 
I could do more and I haven't. 

304
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320
Been yeah, yeah, so. 
Then when I bitch and moan about

305
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
not being arraigned I'm like I 
personally I need to. 

306
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,840
Say the problem is that it's a 
classic, you know, oh, it's 

307
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480
easier not to do it now. 
But then when the shit does hit 

308
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,880
the fan and you are potentially 
lying there going, oh, shit, if 

309
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,400
I'd made some different choices,
you look back on time, go, oh, I

310
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,760
wish I had put that 45 minutes 
in there on that particular day 

311
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880
and just made a routine, then I 
wouldn't be here now stressing 

312
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,280
about what's going to happen to 
my child if I've maybe you're 

313
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,520
not going to go somewhere, but 
you, you know, you may have, I 

314
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,040
don't know, had a heart attack, 
a stroke, you know, diabetes has

315
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,520
creeped up or something like 
that and you're going, oh shit, 

316
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,840
I should have made some life 
choices. 

317
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,040
We were slightly. 
Different and you and if if you 

318
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,240
were on your deathbed. 
Yeah. 

319
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200
And somebody said do you wish 
you'd done anything differently?

320
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,240
Yeah. 
You wouldn't go. 

321
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,280
No, no. 
Yeah. 

322
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Do you know what I wish I could 
after yourself better? 

323
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,520
I wish I could delay this 5-10 
years. 

324
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Yeah, I wish. 
I wish. 

325
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,680
I wish. 
I wish I'd done more. 

326
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,800
Yeah. 
And you would, wouldn't you? 

327
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,560
If you're honest, that's exactly
what you'd say. 

328
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,840
A. 100% and again, it's not 
trying to preach to people. 

329
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,400
Not at all. 
We literally are living this. 

330
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,600
We do know how difficult it is, 
but at the same time, if we can 

331
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:10,480
take steps to allow us to live a
longer life, live a stronger 

332
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,320
life, a healthier life, whatever
the case may be, then it's going

333
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760
to take away a little bit of 
that pressure that we have 

334
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,360
individually as parents, but 
also allow us to be there for 

335
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,520
our children. 
Yeah, longer or more 

336
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,360
effectively. 
You know, a bit of both. 

337
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Yeah, exactly. 
Yeah, that's a good check 

338
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,120
actually. 
It's not just about being alive,

339
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,240
it's about being able to do 
things while you're alive. 

340
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,760
And we've said it before, like 
obviously this is like signing 

341
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000
up and running a marathon is the
most extreme thing you probably 

342
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,800
do. 
We're not. 

343
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,400
We're not saying, hey, 
everybody, you know what you 

344
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,200
need to do. 
You need to, you need to sign up

345
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,880
during marathon because that'll 
make you live longer because you

346
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,760
know. 
Probably isn't the case. 

347
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,400
It's. 
Probably not the case and 

348
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,920
halfway around it you'll 
probably be hating us. 

349
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,320
So we don't want that. 
But if, if it's things like, do 

350
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840
you know what, I'm not going to 
take the lift, I'm going to take

351
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,080
the stairs. 
I'm going to, you know, I'm 

352
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,880
going to walk to the shops 
rather than jump in the car. 

353
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Yes, it will take me 15 minutes 
rather than, you know, a couple 

354
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,360
of minutes. 
It's, it's little things like 

355
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,400
that. 
And if it, it can help in the 

356
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,880
long run or just, you know, 
break a routine for the better, 

357
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,280
then then great. 
But it's fantastic now that 

358
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,280
we've got there's other dads 
going right like we're doing it.

359
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,480
Weird. 
They're just, it wasn't. 

360
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,240
We didn't even have to say 
anything really. 

361
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,880
It was just like they would just
like they would start like 

362
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440
asking about getting trainers. 
And a couple of the lads, Jason,

363
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,840
Jason and Carl, I think they're 
like proper runners. 

364
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,480
They're proper runners. 
Jason is like insanely good. 

365
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,320
He he, we had Jason on the 
podcast very early. 

366
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,160
On. 
He did the Birmingham half, 

367
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,240
didn't he? 
On Sunday? 

368
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Yeah, in like 1 1/2 hours. 
Yeah. 

369
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,760
So, yeah. 
And it was what's what's nice, 

370
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,920
right? 
Jason clearly has a lot of 

371
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,280
knowledge on running, a lot of 
experience. 

372
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,640
He didn't pile in the group and 
just spew out, hey, lads, 

373
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680
listen, I know what I'm doing. 
In fact, it took me saying a 

374
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,640
couple of times, listen, no one 
needs to tell you how to run, 

375
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,240
Jason. 
And then he started sharing some

376
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840
of his. 
But yeah, he, that kid can, can 

377
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,960
run. 
But yeah, it didn't. 

378
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,480
I think it, I think it just 
highlights the people. 

379
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Do you know what I, I want to 
do? 

380
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,119
That certainly did for me. 
I I even though I did the 

381
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,280
marathon, watching other people 
doing the marathon, George 

382
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,440
Lewis, for example, George 
Lewis, he he and showed some of 

383
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,440
the training he was doing and 
you're like, should have done 

384
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,359
that. 
Yeah, yeah, I should have done 

385
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,200
that because I think I would 
have enjoyed it more. 

386
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,000
I think I would have had a 
better time. 

387
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,839
Yeah, definitely. 
It was less. 

388
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,200
I'd have been even less limping.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

389
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,680
I did see the videos. 
They were special. 

390
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,640
What did Mish say? 
I think you went to, there's a 

391
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,000
video of you going to the car in
the car park. 

392
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,760
Yeah, and it took so long, the 
car locked itself. 

393
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,520
It took so long to get the car 
relocked itself. 

394
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,520
It was just a, it was funny. 
I remember seeing well the next 

395
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,800
day, but they were showing like 
a, was it an elite runner? 

396
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,160
Somebody might have dropped it 
in the group like elite runners 

397
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,040
after a marathon and they were 
just walking normally. 

398
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,760
And then it was like the the, 
the good amateurs, they were 

399
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,280
like, you know, looked a little 
bit stiff. 

400
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,520
And then it was like everyone 
else. 

401
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,120
It was just. 
Struggling to what? 

402
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,400
And that's. 
What everyone was like on the 

403
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,440
underground after, everyone was 
just struggling to get 

404
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,120
downstairs and limping and. 
Like I said afterwards, 

405
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:09,960
obviously Mitch was there for 
you. 

406
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,840
Charlotte came down for me, but 
they covered some miles just 

407
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,280
trying to go from like, hey 
guys, we'll we'll meet you at, 

408
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,080
we'll go to Greenwich with you. 
Guys. 

409
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,400
They were there at Greenwich and
they go, we'll meet you at Cutty

410
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Sark. 
And I didn't even think about 

411
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,960
the logistics, but they were 
like, yeah, the tubes on those 

412
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,840
day for spectators and 
supporters were horrendous. 

413
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,600
So they managed to go to Cutty 
Sark. 

414
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,600
I completely missed, missed 
them. 

415
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,480
I must have run past them. 
Did they see you? 

416
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,280
I don't think they did either. 
Then they went to like another 

417
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,360
point and apparently they were 
like, what? 

418
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,360
Did they go after that? 
Was it Canary Wharf after that? 

419
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:44,840
Maybe. 
It might have been just before 

420
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200
Canary Wharf and they were 
shouting, like, apparently 

421
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,680
shouting my name and they've 
just got a video of me, like 

422
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,840
completely oblivious, like in a 
state of complete shock, just 

423
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040
wandering around like what's 
going on walking. 

424
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,880
Backwards. 
Yeah, and they're like shouting 

425
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,880
my name. 
I completely ignored them, but 

426
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,920
then I saw them, I think just as
she'd come out of the tunnel. 

427
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,160
Yes, yeah, they were right at 
the end on the. 

428
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,920
Left hand side, yeah. 
Mitch caught Sean as well. 

429
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,880
Didn't. 
She she did she. 

430
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,360
Caught Sean at at cuty Sard but 
he she filmed him then she was 

431
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:16,040
going Sean. 
Sean, this is Sean that got us 

432
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,600
involved in this shit show in 
the 1st place and apparently he 

433
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,720
just woke thumbs up like you 
didn't know it was them. 

434
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,120
You're just so used to people 
sharing his name. 

435
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,480
Exactly what legend? 
What an absolute legend, even 

436
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,560
when he's not running. 
And then again at was it mile 25

437
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,080
when ambitious about autism had 
their their space completely. 

438
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Oh, I I saw it. 
That gave me a proper boost. 

439
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:37,920
You have to. 
Tell them yeah, the photos. 

440
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,320
Oh, man, I was smiling so much 
when I saw them. 

441
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,360
Yeah, but there's little 
checkpoints that keep it going, 

442
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:44,120
isn't there? 
Like I thought, Oh yeah, I need.

443
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:45,800
I'll see them here. 
I'll see them there. 

444
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
It just gives you a little. 
Boost when you know where 

445
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,920
they're going to be, it gives 
you that OK, I'm going to get 

446
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,400
there. 
OK, now I've got to get to the 

447
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,240
next point. 
Yeah, it, oh, it was just 

448
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,720
incredible, mate. 
It was just incredible. 

449
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
And Sean, wow, for somebody 
that's never run before? 

450
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
What did he do it in is? 
It 5 just over 5, like 5 hour, 

451
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,320
one minute or something 
ridiculous like that. 

452
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,440
Yeah, he did. 
I was on my so good. 

453
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,000
My phone buzzed. 
It's like, yeah, Sean's complete

454
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,440
the half marathon. 
I was looking at the time going 

455
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,240
what? 
Yeah. 

456
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,640
How has he done it in that time?
Yeah, Garmins. 

457
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Garmins are an interesting tool 
for running, aren't they? 

458
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,760
Liars. 
Absolute liars, in fact. 

459
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
It's a meme, isn't it? 
I keep seeing it on Instagram 

460
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Reels. 
Kind of like it tells you you've

461
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,040
done. 
It tells you you've done 20K, 

462
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,200
but then the 20 K point you 
don't see for another K and 1/2.

463
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,120
It's like it lies to you. 
Lies. 

464
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,440
Don't tell me I've done a 
distance. 

465
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,880
I haven't done well. 
Actually, I think you have done 

466
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,760
it. 
I think these are probably 

467
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,880
accurate and for some reason the
point I don't know, I don't 

468
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,760
think. 
You, you like mine was saying, 

469
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,080
you've done 20 kilometres. 
I'll be like, oh thank goodness,

470
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,160
I'm 20 kilometres. 
And then like 600 metres later, 

471
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,080
I'd see the 20 kilometre marker 
on the road. 

472
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,240
And that, that started to piss 
me off because I was like, is 

473
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,880
that happened all the way? 
You start carrying down, going, 

474
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,160
hey, there's only another 22 
kilometres to go. 

475
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,680
And you think like, I remember 
it was like 21 kilometres ago. 

476
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,960
And then that mark comes up and 
you go how, how it just starts 

477
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,120
really upsetting you. 
But what a lot of people said is

478
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,040
obviously you're dodging people.
You you can be running around 

479
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,400
people and that adds distance 
onto your Garmin as well. 

480
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
So that. 
Cumulative, yeah. 

481
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800
So like when I finished the 
marathon, which is 42 

482
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520
kilometres, I stopped my watch 
and it said congratulations, 

483
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,240
you've done 44 kilometres. 
I was like, no, I didn't sign up

484
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,880
to do 44. 
I signed up to do 42. 

485
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,400
What's going on here? 
But yeah, apparently there's a, 

486
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:33,800
there's a blue line that you're 
supposed to follow, and that's. 

487
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,520
Kind of the true. 
Which is the true measurement of

488
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,800
the 26 point, whatever it is 
miles to justify it as a as a 

489
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,880
marathon. 
So they always say like stay as 

490
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,320
close to that blue line as you 
can. 

491
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,040
I'm just like wandering around. 
Deliriously, what was just Yeah.

492
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,280
This is it. 
So having rhinos overtake me. 

493
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,920
The rhinos. 
Having a guy dressed as a RADOC 

494
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,240
shower jell overtake me. 
There's a dinosaur, a 

495
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,240
velociraptor. 
One of the ambitious about 

496
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
autism guys was running around 
with a air conditioning air. 

497
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,560
Conditioning unit on his back. 
Fair play to him, yeah? 

498
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Yes, things like that. 
I'm like, yeah, I've got nothing

499
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,920
to moan about, yeah. 
This is it. 

500
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,200
Then I saw, Is it Manny from 
Wolverhampton? 

501
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,520
Yeah, Absolutely. 
Legend, I think. 

502
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,200
Did you see him? 
I was tracking him for about 3-3

503
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,840
K and then afterwards I heard 
the story that he'd literally 

504
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,320
walked from Wolverhampton. 
Yeah, to London to do the 

505
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:28,720
marathon. 
Did the marathon. 

506
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,800
Yeah. 
Did he walk back? 

507
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,680
He may have done, he may have 
done, but I was like, how on 

508
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,240
earth have you done that? 
Yeah, mental. 

509
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,800
Yeah, some of the stuff, the 
feet, I mean, it's just 

510
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,800
incredible. 
Is that? 

511
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200
Yeah. 
Was that that lad who carried 

512
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,560
the fridge? 
Yeah. 

513
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,880
Yeah, obviously raising 
awareness because of. 

514
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Yeah, was it? 
Genetic. 

515
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,840
Yes, what's the word dementia? 
Yeah, yeah. 

516
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,160
He's got the he's, he's got the 
genes. 

517
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,480
And his brother. 
I believe so, yeah. 

518
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,720
So it may start to affect them 
when they're in their 40s. 

519
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Yeah, but wow, what's? 
But that's one story of how 

520
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,480
many? 
Like everybody you saw had a 

521
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,440
story. 
That day, yeah, everyone was 

522
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,120
connected in some way to 
something. 

523
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,360
Some sort of charity, some sort 
of awareness, people with 

524
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:17,880
pictures of loved ones on them. 
One guy, I think he ran with the

525
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,520
trainers of his daughter that 
passed away around his neck. 

526
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,480
You're just like, so humbling. 
There's deaf people, blind 

527
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,560
people. 
Oh my God. 

528
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,640
People in wheelchairs, people 
without limbs. 

529
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,240
Yeah. 
Just incredible, incredible day.

530
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,440
So like when you kind? 
Of the best of everybody, wasn't

531
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,920
it runners and supporters? 
Supporters like London like 

532
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,400
that. 
It's the best of London. 

533
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,680
Yeah. 
And I'm usually quite a negative

534
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,560
person about London. 
It's like, oh, we've got to get 

535
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,440
down to London. 
Yeah. 

536
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Londoners are like this, Yeah. 
They're not as friendly as 

537
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:46,800
Northerners. 
Yeah. 

538
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,320
You know, that kind of 
stereotype. 

539
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,600
But I tell you what, that day 
there. 

540
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Crazy. 
There was. 

541
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,400
Everybody. 
Everybody supportive, everybody 

542
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,640
like afterwards going on the 
tube, everyone saying 

543
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,400
congratulations. 
One, did you see the one of the 

544
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,520
one guy that was on his own on 
the oh, everyone's girlfriend? 

545
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,680
Yeah, all the soldiers full of 
people just cheering him. 

546
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,240
Just all cheering him. 
Yeah, yeah. 

547
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,160
Yeah, it's and then Monday, like
coming back, obviously you went,

548
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,560
went home on Sunday. 
I came back on the on the on the

549
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Monday going to Houston station.
Everybody's wearing their 

550
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,880
medals. 
I was like with mine out and 

551
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,680
everyone's like congratulations,
well done. 

552
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,360
And I'm never doing it again. 
Yeah, I'm never doing it again. 

553
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,160
Following day signs. 
Following everyone. 

554
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,000
'S yeah, yeah, this is it. 
But yeah, it'd be, I think we 

555
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,880
can get in next year. 
I think we know what to expect 

556
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,720
now. 
We know to treat it with a lot 

557
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560
of respect. 
Respect, yeah. 

558
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,160
It's made. 
It's given me a new lease of 

559
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,800
life. 
Yeah, as far as my health is. 

560
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Concerned. 
But it's a weird thing, isn't 

561
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
it, afterwards? 
And I don't know if it's similar

562
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,440
with other people who, who've 
run it for the first time or if 

563
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,320
it's because, you know, there's 
an element that we didn't train 

564
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,440
properly for it. 
I was like, geez, if I put my 

565
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,200
mind to something I can achieve,
yeah. 

566
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,640
I think that's what the I think 
that's what the bug is, The bug 

567
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,200
if you do something as crazy as 
a marathon. 

568
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,360
And I think we underestimate how
mental it is. 

569
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:05,880
No, it's absolutely crazy. 
It's an insane thing to do and 

570
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480
you, you, you always jump to 
that. 

571
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,480
If you gradually built yourself 
up to a marathon, it might not 

572
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,040
have the same effect. 
But when you do something as 

573
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,480
drastic as going from, 
especially when you don't run 

574
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,480
half marathon and then doing a 
marathon and you go, I got 

575
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,880
around, I, I actually finished. 
It survived there. 

576
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,480
Holy shit, maybe I am not not 
and it's not a it's not an ego 

577
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,520
thing, but maybe humans are more
capable of what than than what 

578
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,000
they think. 
They are. 

579
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,040
It does make you think that you 
can, if you really focus on 

580
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,720
something, yeah, you can do. 
It and that's why I recommend 

581
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,520
everyone trying it, because 
everyone will realise they are 

582
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,120
all capable of things they don't
think they'll ever be capable 

583
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,240
of. 
Then it's like kind of is it 

584
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,720
being like an autism parents 
that you're so resilient anyway 

585
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,160
and stubborn that you just won't
take no for an answer that you 

586
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,120
just go, no, this ain't doing me
either. 

587
00:25:58,120 --> 00:25:59,720
I'm going to carry on. 
I'm going to do this. 

588
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,480
And it's the same, I guess for, 
you know, any same parents 

589
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,880
always say no, no, I, I, for me,
I'd probably count class doing a

590
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,800
marathon as an extreme sport. 
I know there's like ultras and 

591
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,600
Iron Man and everything else 
like that, but they always say 

592
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,440
the individuals that take to 
those sports seem to have some 

593
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,240
sort of trauma in their life and
they just, it's just a way of 

594
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,680
that's. 
Their treatment to for that 

595
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,240
trauma. 
But I'm not saying that all you 

596
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,200
know, we've got trauma or 
anything else like that. 

597
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
But no, you you have a slightly 
different life to. 

598
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,000
Yeah, well, they're technical. 
Families, don't you they? 

599
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Talk about parenting, you know, 
children with additional needs 

600
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,640
as being almost PTSD. 
Inducing, don't they? 

601
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,440
It's amazing. 
It's. 

602
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,720
Kind of a trauma, I suppose, for
lack of a better word, Maybe. 

603
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,400
But I'm trying to see if the 
thing, what else was amazing, 

604
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:46,960
the fire service that in front 
of me was a fireman in full kit.

605
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,920
Full kit carrying the canister 
on his back mask. 

606
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:53,960
Helmet. 
Helmet, everything. 

607
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,840
And it was a hot day, wasn't it?
That's the other thing that did 

608
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,160
me. 
It was a hot day. 

609
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,400
The the weather forecast lied, 
but it was a hot day and he had 

610
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,000
he had a team runner with him. 
I just remember like seeing this

611
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,120
guy just running. 
I was like, wow. 

612
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:15,800
And there was a serviceman 
carrying kit bags and there's 

613
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,200
all sorts going. 
On yeah, it was mental. 

614
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,600
It was absolutely mental. 
But I think one of the things 

615
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,520
that kept me going was the 
donations. 

616
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,960
Yeah, yeah. 
That so many people had put 

617
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,640
their hand in their pocket and 
we know times are particularly 

618
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:38,480
hard, even more so recently. 
That they had taken the time to 

619
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,320
go. 
Do you know what appreciate we 

620
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,920
do and we're going to donate to 
this 'cause. 

621
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Right down to the 50 PS The 
pains that literally like all of

622
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,520
them. 
From 1000 down to 50 P Everybody

623
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,040
that's gone, do you know what 
I'm going to? 

624
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,960
I'm going to give some of my 
money to this cause I think that

625
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,960
just like, but there's no, 
there's no way that we're not 

626
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,880
doing this. 
No, even if like as hard as it 

627
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,840
got and it was just yeah, one 
step in front of. 

628
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Another it got, I mean, it did 
get like that. 

629
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,680
It got like that. 
I got to like, I just need to 

630
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,680
pick my foot up one more time. 
All right now I've got to do it 

631
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,720
again with the other. 
One I got to the stage, I was 

632
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,320
looking at my my watch going how
many kilometres I do in an hour.

633
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,440
Oh shit this is going to be like
another two hours at this pace 

634
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,120
but still got to do it every. 
Time I slow down almost to a 

635
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,920
walk. 
Someone goes and This is why 

636
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,360
any, if anyone does it, get your
name printed on your T-shirt. 

637
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,120
Because without that, I would 
have found it way harder when 

638
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:31,200
people are personally saying 
they don't know you, obviously. 

639
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520
But when people are going go on 
Andy, go on guys. 

640
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,800
It gives you that. 
You're like, yeah, you know 

641
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,880
what? 
I have got to keep going. 

642
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,880
And it and it does. 
And it makes it makes you pick 

643
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,440
your feet up again and push on. 
Yeah, it's it. 

644
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Sorry. 
This is going to say this is 

645
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,560
going to get boring as fuck, but
there is something about doing 

646
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:54,200
something like that that makes 
you go like, it's a bit like, 

647
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,600
you know, people that do extreme
sports, whatever that thing is 

648
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280
that makes them do it. 
And you, you look at people that

649
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,600
do extreme stuff and you're 
like, how do they do that? 

650
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Actually mostly a mental battle.
And I think they all say that, 

651
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,920
don't they? 
Yes, obviously there's a lot of 

652
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,040
physical aspects to it, but the 
physical stuff only gets there 

653
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,200
because you've mentally battled 
to get through it. 

654
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,200
I. 
Mean I did have David Goggins 

655
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,920
going through my head. 
My fucking my headphones around 

656
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,680
halfway through as well. 
Three hours in, I kept going, 

657
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,320
OK, I can't hear anything. 
And I'd I'd click them on and 

658
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720
they'd beep and they'd start 
playing and they'd run out and 

659
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,200
they'd look at my put my phone 
in my pocket. 

660
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Oh, the battery's dead on them. 
But again, that's partly not a 

661
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,720
bad thing because there's loads 
of music going. 

662
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,760
I mean, Apple had their own 
little stand. 

663
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Yeah, yeah, like 23 miles, 
something like that. 

664
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,200
They towards the end, but all 
these people just shouting. 

665
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,920
I mean, there were certain 
places where there were like 

666
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,480
pubs on corners. 
I was just so tempted. 

667
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,080
Just you know what? 
I'll just have 10 minutes. 

668
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,800
I'll have 10 minutes here, have 
a little drink, the people. 

669
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,880
Were wicked it was one point 
where I had to stop because I 

670
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,880
had cramp in my left calf and 
and I just popped and I leant up

671
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,520
against the fence and this woman
came over and said you're OK and

672
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840
I lifted my leg and I just got 
just got cramped. 

673
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,880
I'm trying and because I'd 
lifted my leg up it made the 

674
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,040
cramp worse because obviously 
the muscle was working and I 

675
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,240
looked at it and it looked like 
it had gone inside out. 

676
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,160
And this one because it just 
really tensed up and this woman 

677
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,040
went Oh my God. 
Has anyone got any? 

678
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,120
Anyone got any crisps? 
I'm like, what the fuck is she? 

679
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,520
Asking. 
And she got like salty crisps, 

680
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,600
you need some salt and she went 
eat these and like stuff in his 

681
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,480
crisp stain. 
And then she gave me some 

682
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,360
electrolyte tablets. 
She just had tablets like 

683
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,240
electrolyte tablets on it and I 
had those and May it like 

684
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,080
instantly popped out and that 
was right outside the pub and I 

685
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,640
carried and going a little bit 
more and this guy had a bottle 

686
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,080
of I think it was like an IPA or
something, but in a bottle. 

687
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Anyway, I might have some of 
that. 

688
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Fuck it. 
And I drank you went have it. 

689
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Take it with me. 
I've got to run around with a 

690
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,120
bottle of IPA. 
But thank you, mate. 

691
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,720
So it was just that vibe, like 
people were so like, so cool. 

692
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,840
It was just a matter of people 
that had turned their balconies 

693
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,320
into DJ decks. 
That was pretty cool going 

694
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,960
through some of the built up 
areas. 

695
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,960
It was just the smell of 
barbecues, people just having. 

696
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,080
Barbeques, some of the some of 
the Jamaican areas it is. 

697
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,880
It was the smell of marijuana. 
My God. 

698
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,560
It was like, it was like they 
were all like playing like they 

699
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,520
had the like steel drums and 
stuff like that. 

700
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Playing on the steel drums, but 
basically the coolest people in 

701
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,240
London. 
But it's yeah, it was just such 

702
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,160
a mixed vibe, like just so many 
different cultures and stuff. 

703
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,320
It was just like I'll. 
Tell you what the music when you

704
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,160
got to is it the the gay bit? 
The rainbow section. 

705
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,520
Yes, it got like a right turn, 
didn't it, you? 

706
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,400
Have the right turns. 
And they've got, like, a old 

707
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,880
Dolbert Decker bus as well. 
And it was like, what was it, 

708
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,680
like, Spice Girls music there? 
Yeah, Yeah. 

709
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,240
But the whole place was heaving.
Yeah. 

710
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,720
And I was like, oh, just got a 
Canary Wharf. 

711
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,200
And then all of a sudden you 
just hear this noise again, this

712
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,720
music. 
And everyone's like, really 

713
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,800
having a great time. 
I was like holy shit, this is 

714
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,720
awesome. 
It was like, I think when I went

715
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160
past there, I think they were 
playing like I think it was 

716
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,360
Spice Girls. 
Like spice up your life. 

717
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
It was like they had a stage as 

718
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,280
well, didn't they? 
Banger 90s Banger drag. 

719
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,120
Queens on this stage. 
Spice up your life. 

720
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Come on, Gaz. 
Yeah, played that just for me. 

721
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:11,680
So that was quality, but yeah. 
And then seeing Big Ben, you 

722
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,320
just know, oh, I can see Big Ben
well. 

723
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,080
They say, don't they? 
When you see Big Ben you know 

724
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,240
you're getting towards the end. 
But they also say don't be 

725
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,640
deceived because just because 
you've seen it doesn't mean 

726
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,520
you're there yet. 
No, because that is 1 long 

727
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840
straight, isn't it? 
Until you get to towards 

728
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,160
Buckingham Palace. 
That's a long, long straight, 

729
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,120
yeah. 
But yeah. 

730
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,840
Wow. 
That Buckingham When Buckingham 

731
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,760
Palace, you run around 
Buckingham Palace on your left 

732
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,880
and then that's it. 
The Home straight 3. 185 yards 

733
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,400
to go. 
Yeah, that's it. 

734
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,680
Yeah. 
What did you do when you crossed

735
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,400
the line? 
Nothing. 

736
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Pride it's. 
Like in shock. 

737
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Thank goodness. 
Get me a medal. 

738
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,880
It's I'd like I just I crossed 
over it like instantly started 

739
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,960
welling up. 
My God. 

740
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,880
And I couldn't, I couldn't tell 
you why it's. 

741
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,120
Just emotional. 
I don't know why though. 

742
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,440
I wasn't like running towards 
the line thinking Oh my God, I'm

743
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,400
nearly done. 
But I crossed the line and I 

744
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,480
think it's because you've got 
everyone else crossing as well 

745
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,000
and everyone's just my name's 
like a feeling. 

746
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,880
It's weird, like an aura of 
emotion. 

747
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,880
And I like, I started fooling 
myself and I was like, don't 

748
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,200
know why, but I'm getting 
getting a bit emotional. 

749
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,280
And then you you go through and 
because you've got your name on 

750
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:20,720
there, they're like, well done 
Gaz. 

751
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,800
And just so you know, they know 
your name and they're giving you

752
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,720
your medal and something about 
someone placing a medal over 

753
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,840
your head, like. 
Takes you back to being at 

754
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,760
school. 
Yeah, I'm an athlete. 

755
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,320
Of course I am. 
Top 1%, but yeah. 

756
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,760
Yeah, in it just insane. 
And obviously it was a it was a 

757
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,680
record-breaking. 
Yeah, yeah, 2 records isn't. 

758
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:46,880
It or was it 15933 or is it 1? 
Yeah, I think 15930 something 

759
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,800
like. 
That, yeah, something like that.

760
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,400
And then someone else. 
Never got just after him. 159 

761
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,760
doesn't think. 
I heard like the top 4, the top 

762
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,520
four. 
I think like top three had the 

763
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,600
same trainers on as well. 
How about this? 

764
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Because Adidas and they're not 
even on sale yet, are they? 

765
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Pretty sure they're legal. 
They're legal trainers, but you 

766
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,120
can't even buy them yet. 
But. 

767
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:10,199
I think the guy also who won it,
obviously Nike spent a lot of 

768
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,560
money trying to get under the 
two hour mark. 

769
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:16,360
That's all like saying they'd 
spent almost like 500 million 

770
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,440
over a couple of years to get an
athlete under the two hour mark.

771
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,960
And I think they they've done 
the unofficial under 2 hours, 

772
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,320
haven't they? 
With, I forget his name now, but

773
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,199
obviously everything Nike. 
Nike pumped loads of money in 

774
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:30,159
there and then this guy's done 
it. 

775
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:34,080
We're in Adidas. 
Awesome. 

776
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,840
You know someone at Nike went. 
Fuck I I I. 

777
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,239
Yeah. 
Jesus. 

778
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,360
Was it, was it Nike that put all
those red, all the advertising? 

779
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,080
They put loads of advertising 
up. 

780
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,440
That was Nike, wasn't it? 
Yeah, something. 

781
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,719
Like this, but you're tougher. 
Yeah, that sort of thing. 

782
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,840
Didn't they had a bit of a 
controversial one as well when 

783
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,960
they were like walkers tolerated
or something like. 

784
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,040
That yeah, yeah. 
You got in hot water for that, 

785
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,120
wasn't they? 
They did, which is why we're 

786
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:05,520
sponsored by well, then, But you
know, I think I got emotional 

787
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,080
probably before we got too 
ambitious about autism. 

788
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,200
I started going like it started 
to hit me like, Oh my God, 

789
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,880
we're, I'm going to do this 
literally because you spend that

790
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,240
bit of time walking as well, 
which seems forever and you 

791
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:22,200
think you're never going to get 
there because every time you 

792
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,520
look at your watch, it hasn't 
moved. 

793
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,600
It's gone backwards if anything.
I just got to that stage and I 

794
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,640
started, I could just feel the 
eye starting to go like, oh 

795
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,000
shit, this is getting emotional.
And I was just like obviously 

796
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,320
thinking about because what? 
Andy in the group sent me a 

797
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,880
couple of voice notes during the
run and one of the obviously 

798
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440
they're all tracking us going 
around and sending like messages

799
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,680
in the group. 
Keep going lads, keep going. 

800
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,080
He sent me a really, really nice
message. 

801
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,520
Because because you've just done
half of it, mate. 

802
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,800
You've just done half of it 
because you're doing well. 

803
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Think of it like this in the 
first half, it's going to get me

804
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:56,920
emotional again. 
This. 

805
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,160
Is Andy Gunning? 
Yeah, he said the first half 

806
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,400
you're running for everybody 
else's children. 

807
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,280
You know, we obviously ambitious
about autism because the 

808
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,480
second-half you're running for 
Lydia. 

809
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,080
Yeah. 
Nice. 

810
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,920
And I think that got me 
thinking. 

811
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,080
It got me emotional, and I 
brought it with me. 

812
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,400
I think you got one of these as 
well, didn't you? 

813
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,920
But yeah, yeah, there's the 
school. 

814
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,080
Thank you very much to the 
teachers at Lydia School. 

815
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,760
I got handed this to the on the 
Friday before just wishing us 

816
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,200
good luck. 
So yeah, really appreciate that,

817
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
that that did help in it at that
moment. 

818
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,280
I I had these two things with 
me, a picture of Lydia as well. 

819
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Yeah. 
So picture of Lydia had both of 

820
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,680
those in the pocket. 
And I remember just reaching 

821
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,760
into them and just bringing them
out at that moment, just going 

822
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,720
right. 
We've got this, we've got this. 

823
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,320
Not long now. 
It helps, doesn't it? 

824
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,440
Yeah, that's why I had I had the
double sided picture of Thomas 

825
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,640
in one pocket. 
That's funny. 

826
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,160
The school. 
I'm sorry, I'm telling this 

827
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,800
story. 
Sorry, guys, I'm telling it is 

828
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,760
funny. 
So we had a note in Thomas book 

829
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:57,680
saying that spent the day making
Daddy a little good luck present

830
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,040
for the marathon. 
I was like, oh, that's lovely, 

831
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,680
That's really nice. 
And then looking through the 

832
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,280
bag. 
All right, where's this good 

833
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,480
luck present that they've made? 
And then we had a phone call. 

834
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,280
I think it was a phone call or 
an e-mail from the school going,

835
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,000
Oh my God, we're so sorry we did
this thing. 

836
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,120
We forgot to pack it, but it was
a thought they kated. 

837
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,280
It was a thought, but it was 
really nice that they did. 

838
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,560
That yeah, yeah. 
It was, it was really lovely of 

839
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,040
them. 
I love that school. 

840
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,720
I just think they're. 
Awesome, they're so good. 

841
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:24,400
To take the time to know that we
that we're doing that as well 

842
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,280
because we've not mentioned it 
to them. 

843
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,760
No. 
No, God, no. 

844
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,000
But we know they obviously. 
I had friends and family that 

845
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,320
didn't know I was doing it till 
I was in London. 

846
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,200
What are you doing in London? 
Yeah, exactly. 

847
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,080
Why on TV? 
It was, but yeah. 

848
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,040
No real nice touch. 
Really nice touch. 

849
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,640
Really nice touch, really. 
Really nice as you've mentioned 

850
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,800
Dandy gunning Yes. 
And this might be a good thing 

851
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,960
to do mate. 
I think this is he's asked us to

852
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,880
to read something out for him. 
Shout out a bit of a shout out 

853
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,600
because obviously we bit your 
moan about where the system 

854
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,680
fails kids quite a lot. 
Yeah, especially with all the 

855
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,880
white paper and stuff that we've
done more recently. 

856
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,280
And he asked if we could share 
this. 

857
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:04,600
And I thought, what a nice touch
that yes, the system and and 

858
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,320
certain services fail our kids 
and fail us as parents. 

859
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,520
But when they don't and they do 
something amazing and. 

860
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,040
Deliver. 
Exactly. 

861
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680
It's worth giving a shout out so
I thought. 100% worth both ways 

862
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,880
I thought. 
It was on to on with this, so if

863
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,760
anybody ever does want us to 
read anything mate, just let us 

864
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,840
know. 
Send us a message, send us an 

865
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,440
e-mail to hello@alton.cast.com. 
Hopefully we'll see it. 

866
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,080
If we do, we'll read it out. 
So, so this is this is from Andy

867
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,760
on. 
A massive thank you to 

868
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,960
Shropshire Paediatric 
Occupational Therapy and to Gay 

869
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,120
in particular. 
After our local authority 

870
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,960
decided our son had no sensory 
or physical needs for his EHCP, 

871
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,400
we were lost. 
Reaching out to Spot Limited for

872
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,160
a private assessment was one of 
the best decisions we've made. 

873
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,240
From day one, Gay saw our saw 
our son as a child, not a case. 

874
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,080
Her assessment was thorough, her
report reflected exactly who he 

875
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,080
is, and her input during a 
mediation was invaluable. 

876
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,360
The result? 
The local authority agreed to 

877
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,040
every recommended change and 
asked Gay to continue working 

878
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,200
with him as his OT. 
That tells you everything about 

879
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,960
the quality of her work. 
We'll keep recommending Spot 

880
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,240
Limited to every Sen family we 
meet. 

881
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Our children's lives and 
education matter, and Gay lives 

882
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,880
that in everything she does. 
So thank you, Gay. 

883
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,360
Thank you to Spot Limited. 
That's amazing. 

884
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,880
I like that. 
I like that. 

885
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,960
I like that. 
Give people a shout out when 

886
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,360
they deserve it. 
So, so gay. 

887
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,560
We've said this before. 
I know it's like it can sound 

888
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,120
like doom and gleam and we 
always do hear the horror 

889
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,120
stories. 
And we, we've said, you know, a 

890
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:40,720
lot of people who work in the 
services or work in certain 

891
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:45,200
therapies that they are doing a 
good job or they're trying to do

892
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,600
the very best they possibly can 
do under the circumstances or 

893
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,960
the finances that, you know, 
that limit them sometimes. 

894
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,760
So no, that's fair play. 
And you don't really. 

895
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,640
I mean, some people will, but 
the majority of people aren't 

896
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,080
going into these jobs. 
To be a Dick. 

897
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,680
For a job, you know, it's not 
like I need a job. 

898
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,760
I'm going to go and be an 
occupational therapist. 

899
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,000
No, you do it because you can. 
You want to make a difference. 

900
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,400
Yeah, absolutely. 
So yeah, anything else mate? 

901
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,600
No, I think that's just a short 
one to say thank you again to, 

902
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:20,400
to everybody donations and again
even not just the donations, but

903
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,160
the messages we were receiving 
on the day. 

904
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,160
Yeah. 
Oh, someone bought us a couple 

905
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,640
of coffees as well, didn't they?
Yeah, yeah. 

906
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,080
During the run yeah thank you to
them as well yeah just running 

907
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,440
we've got a if you want to 
support the show because 

908
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,120
obviously we actually can 
probably tell we we don't make 

909
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,320
any money from doing this it 
costs money but we we do have a 

910
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,080
buy a coffee link in our profile
and Instagram. 

911
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,160
You can go into Linked Tree and 
if you want to buy us a coffee 

912
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,000
you can do and bless them. 
A couple of people did go. 

913
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,800
There, you said at the end you 
went somewhere, a couple of 

914
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,640
people. 
Was it coffee? 

915
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,040
I think I bumped into like 
halfway around the courses after

916
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,320
you had that cramp, wouldn't it?
Yeah, I don't have the crab. 

917
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:56,080
I was. 
All right. 

918
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,120
I'll carry on running. 
And I ran. 

919
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,360
And you were there in the 
middle. 

920
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,760
I. 
Was like, I've got a tap of the 

921
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,480
shoulder. 
It was you. 

922
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,920
Hello. 
Mate and you were like. 

923
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,040
What are you doing here? 
Yeah, I just. 

924
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:05,680
Absolutely. 
Yeah. 

925
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,000
My phone's just gone off. 
Someone like someone's bought us

926
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:08,760
a coffee. 
Yeah. 

927
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,040
Yeah. 
So it was really cool. 

928
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,160
Thank you very much for doing 
that. 

929
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,160
It does help. 
And yeah, the next thing is, 

930
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,480
yeah, keep training. 
We've got Oxford coming up and 

931
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,000
we're. 
Going to smash. 

932
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,800
That we're we're going to 
absolutely smash that. 

933
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,000
We've got some exciting plans as
well for the rest of the year. 

934
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,240
Really exciting shit coming. 
So watch the space because this 

935
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:32,040
is going to be big. 
And then next week we've got. 

936
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:40,720
Oh, is Adam Parkinson OK? 
Adam Parkinson next week Monday.

937
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,200
You guys all know who he is. 
You've seen him on Socials 2, Mr

938
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,680
PS2, Mr PS He's one of the Mr 
PS. 

939
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,680
He is one of the Mr PS. 
So he's on next Monday. 

940
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:55,080
That's a long time coming. 
We've got a few more guests 

941
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,520
lined up. 
They're exciting. 

942
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,000
We've got Oren's coming on to 
talk about his app. 

943
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,840
Yeah, this is going to be, this 
is going to be good. 

944
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,400
This is 1. 
I would say like TuneIn, it's 

945
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,560
going to be very eye opening. 
Yeah, because that is a piece of

946
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,200
kit I wish we had, you know, 
early on we were blown away by 

947
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,320
it. 
I won't harp on too much about 

948
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,800
it because obviously he could 
talk about it this year. 

949
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,360
But yeah, I'm really excited 
about this year. 

950
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,600
Really excited. 
Some cool shit happening and for

951
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,360
me, I think for you, for all, 
for all of us and all the other 

952
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,520
dads that are in the in the 
WhatsApp group, yeah, this is 

953
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,160
giving me a kick up the arse to 
just be be better basically in 

954
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,480
everything I do. 
Trained as once we can, yeah. 

955
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,760
Yeah, yeah, exactly as once. 
We can, yeah, do what we can. 

956
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,720
But yeah, definitely. 
All right, mate. 

957
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,640
Well, I don't think we'll find 
another excuse to wear on 

958
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,040
medals. 
Do we need an excuse because 

959
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,320
we're athletes, can we just wear
these? 

960
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,680
I think you just wear these all 
the time now you can and then 

961
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,600
just collect more of them. 
I'll tell you what I will say, 

962
00:42:58,240 --> 00:42:59,920
they're fucking good medals. 
They're heavy. 

963
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:01,720
They're good, man. 
Yeah, yeah, they're proper, 

964
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:08,400
proper heavy metal medals. 
But no, they're just just 

965
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,720
outstanding. 
I think I've just become a bit 

966
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:12,520
of a metal magpie now. 
I just want to. 

967
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,440
Collect more. 
Of them, yeah, just put my body 

968
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,360
through different things to 
collect more of them but. 

969
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,240
Yeah, and we're like in the in 
the dad group now. 

970
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:22,280
Everyone's just dropping in 
their time, their running time, 

971
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,040
so the lads aren't getting 
proper stuck in. 

972
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,840
Yeah, this is This is why it's 
quite nice having a group of 

973
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,560
people because they kind of push
each other on. 

974
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,360
Yeah, but in an in an in a 
supportive way, as in like, 

975
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,400
congratulations, well done. 
You've been out for a run. 

976
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Good stuff, good stuff. 
And then also in a supportive 

977
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,040
way is and why you've been a 
lazy bastard. 

978
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,880
The issues don't get out there. 
Yeah. 

979
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,360
Yeah, exactly. 
So it's it's a good support 

980
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,040
group. 
But yeah, it'll be great if we 

981
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,480
can in the future just have more
mums and dads be part of 

982
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,080
something and have the same 
level of kind of support that 

983
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,120
we're experiencing now, but on a
larger scale. 

984
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Yeah. 
And we're going to make that 

985
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,320
happen. 
Yeah, 100%. 

986
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,640
Also join the Discord because 
it's full of legends and we just

987
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,720
chat every day and we go in the 
stem and whistle at weekends and

988
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:17,320
a lot, a lot of the support we 
got was from the discord as 

989
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:18,280
well. 
The discord group, they were 

990
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,920
tracking us and what was really 
nice, maybe my ego like this, I 

991
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,640
don't know. 
But what was really nice is they

992
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,960
were all like helping each 
other. 

993
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,880
Like we weren't there to talk 
to. 

994
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,400
They were talking to each other 
about how we were getting on and

995
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,360
I thought that was just nice. 
They were like tracking us and 

996
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,560
stuff and they were, oh, should 
I take to Emma and her husband? 

997
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,960
They we, we know them through 
the discord speak to Emma on the

998
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,720
the video chat most weekends and
she was there. 

999
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,640
She's they saw you. 
They in fact, they got you on 

1000
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,200
video. 
Oh my. 

1001
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,840
God. 
Right past and I just heard Gaz 

1002
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,760
got like a psycho Gaz like 
screaming and I was like, well, 

1003
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,760
people have been encouraging and
stuff, but that that's like 

1004
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,960
something different. 
But I'd already gone past and I 

1005
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,680
turned around and she was going 
go on. 

1006
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,200
And I was like, it's Anna. 
You know which is. 

1007
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,000
Nice. 
I'd seen her in the the the stem

1008
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,240
and whistle and you just see it.
I was like, oh sorry. 

1009
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,520
That was cool. 
That was really good. 

1010
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,840
It was really nice. 
And finally, to everybody else 

1011
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,160
that ran for ambitious about 
Autism, like congratulations, 

1012
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,680
well done. 
You've raised some amazing funds

1013
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,160
for a great charity. 
I had a pleasure, a few of them 

1014
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,160
tapping me on the back saying 
keep going, Andy. 

1015
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,280
Yeah, you've clearly done no 
training, which is why we're 

1016
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,240
running past you, but keep 
going, which is also very nice 

1017
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,280
there's. 
A few National Autistic Society 

1018
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,400
people as well and they're. 
Obviously. 

1019
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
If you're wearing vests, they 

1020
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,000
say autism. 
Or autistic. 

1021
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,400
We're helping each other out, 
we're giving each other support 

1022
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,040
and what's nice as well. 
In June we are going to go down 

1023
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,000
to London and we're going to 
meet with ambitious about 

1024
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,720
autism. 
We're going to have a meeting 

1025
00:45:47,720 --> 00:45:50,160
with the chief exec. 
She's going to come on a 

1026
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:55,240
podcast, talk to us about the 
charity, give us the number of 

1027
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:59,040
how much money has been totally 
raised for Ambitious about 

1028
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,400
Autism, which we're excited to 
hear amongst everybody that's 

1029
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,800
done events with them over the 
London Marathon and fundraised 

1030
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,480
and get an indication of what 
the money does. 

1031
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,760
That's that's the big one as 
well, because I think once you 

1032
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,800
get to see that. 
It's all very well us doing it 

1033
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,160
on the front end raising money, 
but then when we find out, God, 

1034
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,840
this money's actually helped 
this, it's helped this family or

1035
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,640
it's done, you know, something 
here in a school or it's, it's 

1036
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,560
creating an opportunity here. 
We start to get a better picture

1037
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,360
of it's, you know, of where the 
money goes and how much of a 

1038
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,840
positive difference it makes to 
to children and young people who

1039
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,520
have autism. 
So absolutely stoked about that.

1040
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,160
Yeah, that will do it. 
Really looking forward to it. 

1041
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,440
And we're just going to keep 
doing as much as we can for 

1042
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,440
ambitious about autism. 
Aren't we? 

1043
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,400
Yeah. 
You know, it's if it wasn't. 

1044
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,520
I've said this before, the 
reason we have such an Infinity 

1045
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,640
to ambitious about autism is 
before I even met Gaz, I 

1046
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,720
messaged him and said, look, 
there's a place at Paris half 

1047
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:56,600
marathon we'd be running for 
ambitious about autism. 

1048
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,800
Are you interested? 
You said go on then, let's do 

1049
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,360
it. 
And the first time we met was at

1050
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,400
Birmingham Airport and we did 
the half marathon and we just 

1051
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,760
kind of said where are the dads 
in this? 

1052
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:11,440
And this is which has led to the
autism dad cast and all the 

1053
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,000
crazy things that we do now if 
it wasn't. 

1054
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,440
For them we wouldn't doing this 
so. 

1055
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,600
If it wasn't for them, they're 
the catalysts. 

1056
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,440
They're that, you know, they 
were The Big Bang that created 

1057
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,960
this. 
So as far as I'm concerned, you 

1058
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,280
know, we'll, we'll, we'll tear 
our flag to ambitious about 

1059
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,400
autism, do as much as we 
possibly can for for that 

1060
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,000
charity. 100 percent, 100%. 
Awesome. 

1061
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:35,000
