Known as "Daz" to his friends, he said his disability was limiting him in terms of the amount of intense training he could do, but maintained that he ran between up to thirty kilometers per week and woke up as early as 3am to train. Daz has been granted an hour head start for the race and is confident that he will complete the fifty-six kilometer marathon in good time
