STEVE Hill is about to tackle his first ever 25-mile road race.
In true Steve-style he's chosen tomorrow's gruelling London Marathon which could be the hottest on record with temperatures in the capital set to soar to 25C this week!
"The London Marathon will be my first road marathon so I'm really looking forward to the whole experience," he told us.
"I'm sure it's going to be amazing with so many runners and so much support around the course.
"It'll be a novelty to have other runners to run with as opposed to the very long days running through the Arctic."
Steve will be running with his pal Allan Dean and raising money for a host of charities including the NSPCC and Dr Kershaw's Hospice.
His race number is 44777, so don't forget to keep any eye out for him!
