Roger's colleagues step up after injury ends BBC presenter's running challenge

I'm not much of a runner. I never have been.

But I have been getting my trainers on most mornings for the past 18 months, simply to stay fit and lose weight.

So, I wasn't too daunted when I was challenged to run 41km (26.2 miles) over the space of two weeks for this year's BBC Children in Need appeal.

Lots of people do a marathon in one go so how hard could it be?

Well, perhaps I shouldn't have been so conceited.

Four weeks ago, a long-standing foot problem flared up. I iced it. I raised it. The doctor gave me pills. I even had an x-ray.
