Academy Director Bryan Klug will be pounding the streets of Brooklyn and the Bronx this weekend when he takes part in the New York marathon.

Bryan will be the running the New York version for the first time but has previous experience of the 26 mile distance.

"I have run the London Marathon twice before but this is a new challenge and one I am looking forward to," he says.

"The opportunity to take part in any major sporting event is always exciting and hopefully I can raise some money for a local charity as well."

And Bryan has a target in his mind to complete the race, adding: "I have done as much training as I can but it's not easy given the job I do at the Club and is nowhere near what I should have done. Anything under four hours would be great though."
