Q. Guy did the London Marathon back in April, how many hours training did he put in to get to the fitness of being able to run a race like that?
The Oracle replies:
Wearing number 36989 Guy crossed the finishing line with his trainer Dan after 3 hours 59 min, which is amazing as Guy only decided he wanted to do it mid February. That�s 9 weeks before race day but only six weeks of full training, as they needed 2 weeks to warm down before the race. Training consisted of one long run per week starting at 10 miles and building up to 20 miles 2 weeks before the race. They also did 2 shorter (3- 5 mile) fast runs per week and 1 medium distance run (6-8 miles) of varying pace.
They ran for Kith & Kids.

Q. We have the band coming on our radio show this Saturday. What question would you ask them?
The Oracle replies:
Hi Ben. It's their 10th anniversary this year of first gig, the Safety E.P, being played on the radio, getting spotted... I'd ask them which teletubby they each represent. I jest of course! How about how their dreams as aspiring students back in 1998 compares to the reality of their success? And send my love.
