Even hotter breaking news

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

So let me get this straight...

If I... (a) make chips and chocolate my two main food groups; (b) hydrate with copious quantities of beer (which is a sports drink, after all); © motivate myself by watching lots of football; (d) avoid injury by developing a fearful paranoia about pulled calf muscles; and (e) whinge a lot about how unfit I am - then I'll be able to run a marathon?

Has anyone told Hal Higdon??

Actually, I think guru Andy is onto a winner here. I can just see the merchandising opportunities too: Sri Andy's line of sports slippers, Coolmax dressing-gowns and chocolate energy gels, washed down of course with Coach Lynam's Best Extra Training Stout. And needless to say, you can't drink stout without a packet or three of Marathon Andy's Slow Kettle Crisps...

So not only has sloth enabled you to run a marathon, it's going to make you rich as well... need a manager? Southern hemisphere distribution agency....?? How about an R&D guinea pig???
