Daily: Marathon Man - Paul Tonkinson on Breaking the 3-Hour Mark

Running a marathon is no easy feat, but to run one in under 3 hours puts you in the top 5% of runners worldwide. Comedian Paul Tonkinson details his gruelling yet moving journey to break the 3-hour mark in his book 26.2 Miles to Happiness: A Comedian’s Tale of Running, Red Wine and Redemption. He sits down with fellow runner Nick Cohen to talk about the trials and tribulations of beating one of running’s milestone times.

• “I wanted to be as honest as possible about the process of running a marathon”
• “Running a marathon runs nicely along the line of being really difficult, but also achievable”
