Frank White didn't think one half marathon for charity was enough. He didn't think two in a month was enough. So he decided to do three in a month and raise money for Young lives vs Cancer. Starting with his local half in Bideford in North Devon, we chat to Frank after his second half, in Bath. How would he cope after breaking his elbow three weeks before Bideford? Next up is one of the UK's biggest, London Landmarks in April and we'll find out how that went in episode 2.
