an interview with ben fogle at the royal parks foundation half marathon


I went inside the VIP tent on Sunday at the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon in London....where I really wished I'd put some make-up on (!) (but I sweat so much when I run I just can't! Comfort has to win over vanity!).....and I was lucky enough to grab five minutes with race ambassador, TV presenter, writer and professional adventurer Ben Fogle!

Ben was unable to run on Sunday due to a knee injury but he spoke to me about coping with injury, keeping motivated, his running journey and what adventure he's got coming up next - this guy seriously sounds like he never stops :)

Full race report is in progress, stay tuned!
