I was running most of the way with Jimmy in the 1981 London Marathon - when I say I ran with I mean I was amongst the those that were running roughly the same pace. He eventually left me behind and finished in under 4 hours versus my 4hr 4 mins. He was obvisouly very fit (I beleive he was a former racing cyclist) as he nvere looked at all tired.
