On the day Christine Hobson, now 72, retired, she wasn't preparing for a relaxing weekend. "I retired on the Friday, and I did the London Marathon on the Sunday, to prove to myself I wasn't on the scrapheap," she told This Morning hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley.
"That was to be my one and only marathon, but it wasn't my one and only," she laughs. During Christine's second marathon in Chester, she spotted someone wearing a '100 Marathon' t-shirt in support of a friend completing the challenge.
