BBC One on Thursday nights “Run for Glory”

I have done the narration for this new series… Run for Glory… BBC One Thursday 2 Mar 7pm – and every Thursday same time until the Marathon… 13 people from around the country volunteer to train for the gruelling 26.2 mile London Marathon in just six months. This is a huge undertaking. Not only are they unfit, many are battling personal traumas from cancer to disabling road accidents. World class athletes Sally Gunnell and Steve Cram are their tough coaches. But will they make it? This week…well I have the full script in front of me now – but that would be telling… The would-be runners soon find that the Marathon is as much a mental as a physical challenge when they are confronted with a gut wrenching high ropes course. As well as getting fit, they know they need to toughen up if they want to have any chance of success.
