Pete runs the marathonThe sun was beating down on the runners the other weekend, but that didn’t stop our designer Monica’s fiancé, Pete Ryan, achieving a personal best in the London marathon – dressed as a superhero!

Sporting a rather fetching blue Lycra ensemble, Pete ran the marathon in aid of Action Medical. They’re a charity dedicated to improving the lives of babies and children born with a disability or rare illness. Pete crossing the finishing line in a super-fast time of 2 hours 51mins 48 seconds with Monica cheering him on from the sidelines. He really did both himself and the charity proud.

Pete runs the marathonPete did want to be the fastest superhero running the marathon, but sadly Superman turned up and just beat him to it. But seeing as the red-caped one broke the world record for the fastest marathon as a superhero, we can’t really begrudge him too much!

Well done to Pete for taking on this enduring event.
