A kind-hearted shopkeeper in Edinburgh has given a ravenous marathon runner his lunch after he came into the store looking for a quick snack-to-go after clocking up 30km.
Tendai Huchu, 40, was doing last-minute marathon preparation for next weekend's big race but hit a wall at 28k and needed a sugary hit to plough on.
Stopping near Dalry before going to meet a friend, Tendai popped into Aliza's Food on Gorgie Road for a chocolate bar and some crisps - but the newly opened store only stocked fresh meat and cooking ingredients.
