We talked with freelance director, motivational speaker and cameraman, (AlexVero.co.uk), who made a bold new year's resolution in 2006 to leave the lad's life of drinking and smoking behind and become a 2:20 marathoner in two years. He produced a video, “Running to the Limits” that documents his journey toward his goal. We talk about the root causes of Britain’s decline from having 100+ sub 2:20 runners in 1985 to just 5 in 2005, how to become really fast and what it means for Kenyans and Ethiopians to win big races.
You'll have to buy the video to find out if he made it! (here) and a portion of the profits will go to support a great charity to get shoes and healthcare to African young runners http://www.shoe4africa.org/sendshoes.htm
