KEVIN and Lavinia Marshall from Lifton were delighted with their run in The Great North Run. Kevin completed his run in 1.22.30 and Lavinia's time was 2.10.36. They both achieved personal bests and they put this down to the help given them by Matt Luxton's Fa-fitness — using his reduced mileage programme.

The couple raised £452 for Lifton Community Centre, of which the plans are almost ready to be submitted for planning. They want thank all the people that have supported them in their run.

Kevin will be running in the London Marathon in April 2012.
