A gym instructor is preparing to run his 51st half marathon just eight years after he took up running.

John Stafford, 52, will join runners on the start line of the Bracknell half marathon on Sunday, April 27 – just two weeks after he completes the London Marathon this weekend.

   TC, I struggled with just one mile when I started running 8 years ago. I never had any intention of running so many half marathons back then.

I just found the more I ran the easier it got and the more I enjoyed it. One of the tricks is actually to let the improvements come gradually. Don't push yourself too much and make sure that you enjoy it.

   I attempted 8 miles last night and almost passed out.. at this rate I'll be lucky to manage 2 half-marathons let alone 100!
