David Castle interviews Mike Clyne, Run247 contributor and adidas team member, at the 2011 Virgin London Marathon Expo.
About Mike: Mike Clyne is part of the adidas team at the 2011 Virgin London Marathon.
Inspired into running by the first London Marathon in 1981 Mike then trained for and completed a local 10 mile fun run in October 1982, his first half marathon in 1983 and then his first marathon (Abingdon) in May 1983, aged 16. He continued running and did his first London marathon in April 1985, in the days when the Isle of Dogs was very different and the finish was on Westminster Bridge.
To date Mike has completed 9 Ironmans, 12 Half Ironmans, 20 Marathons (of which 11 are Londons) and many half marathons. Mike has been a London Pacer for 11 min mile group in 2007 and 2009.
His aim for London 2011 is a steady 4h30 as part of his build up to Ironman Regensburg in August.
