Hello and welcome to Manchester World. My name is Theo Hewson-Betson. Today I'm out in Manchester
00:03
asking people about marathons and that's because this weekend we're going to see the Manchester
00:07
Marathon take place. It's the second biggest one in the UK. 36,000 people have signed up to be a
00:11
part of it. We want to know if people would be willing to run one themselves and how much work
00:16
they think would have to go into it for them to be able to take part. I'm doing it next week.
00:20
I'm doing Manchester. Is this the first time you've done one? First full marathon, yeah.
00:24
Considering it, I think I'm a bit late for this year, but I'm not that quick.
00:29
A few pints in. Yeah, yeah. This is the Guinness talking. But maybe I'll do it in the future.
00:34
You know, I enjoy physical activity. I think we're all pretty sporty. We all go to the gym.
00:38
We all do running. So the training's been good. I think I've done four months, like a training
00:42
block now. But yeah, really enjoyed it. Take me about 30 seconds. I'm an animal. I do five
00:49
press-ups before, mate. I just eat the whole thing. I come first as well. I think it's a
00:54
long training process. If you want to go next year, start training now.
