This is cartoon containing six frames. It shows two women having a conversation. In the first frame, person A says ‘I’m thinking of running a marathon’. In the second frame, person B says ‘Have you ever done any running before?’ and person A responds with ‘Not really. I did a bit when I was a kid at school. I’m afraid I don’t have very good memories of PE lessons …’. In the next frame, person B says ‘So what are you going to do to get ready?’ and person A says ‘Well, I thought I’d go for a run on Saturdays or Sundays’.

In the next frame, person A says ‘The thing is, I’m really busy, so I’m not sure I have the time to run regularly’, and person B responds with ‘So, what are you going to do to prepare?’. In the final frame, person A says ‘Well, quite honestly, I will do a bit here and there, but I thought I would just pick it up on the day – I’ve seen lots of people running the London marathon on the telly, and they seem to have a good time …’.
