Each week, on James’s travels he will be keeping an eye out for likeminded people out for a run/walk – basically anyone “getting active”.

Each week we will run short stories on these people and what inspires them. This week we have Nick Quinn.

Crazy: What is your exercise regime today?

Nick: A gentle 5 mile run as early preparation for the New York Marathon in November.

Crazy: What is your main motivation for running/being active?

Nick: My girlfriend passed away last year and I want to do something in her memory and to raise money for charity.

Crazy: What piece of advice would you give for people who think “I can’t run”?

Nick: I would say that they can – just give it a go and you will soon find yourself enjoying it. Remember to stretch though.

Crazy: any other comments?

100 miles? You’re bonkers.
