Some time back there was a lot of discussion about Alex Vero and his Road to Beijing project. Could a 16 stone smoker make the GB Olympic team?
Several forums had long discussions about it,

Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
I cannot afford to waste 50 minutes of potential training time

Give him some credit - He got down to 1hr 16m for a half marathon
and its a good programme about the Ethiopians - would love to see some of them on our fells.

Brings us back to the question being discussed a few weeks back: is the BGR record (and other long distance fell records) beatable?
Look beyond the fell running community and I bet there'd be one or two who could come close...if they wanted to.
