Will Young - Will Young Ran To The Brits For Marathon Training

The Leave Right Now hitmaker is preparing to jog 26.4 miles (42.2 kilometres) on 17 April (11) in aid of Catch22, a British charity which helps disadvantaged youngsters.

Young has been fitting in his training around work trips to places including Los Angeles and southern Africa - and even donned his running gear to dash to the annual Brit Awards prizegiving at the O2 Arena in south-east London.

He tells Bbc Breakfast, "I was in L.A. and then I was on a charity visit in Zambia and Namibia, so it's been a balancing act (work and training)...

"Even for the Brits, I was doing an award, and I ran to the O2 from home. You can do it, I just look a bit odd when I turn up in Lycra. People did look at me and say, 'That's a strange outfit Will, running leggings'."
