Those that know Stu, know he'd typically rather be chilling beneath the covers than pulling himself from the bed at 5am. And with Stu's first marathon challenge a little more the 7 weeks away thats exactly what he's been doing.

It's natural to ask - is Stu a new man? Perhaps. As Stu puts it 'You will regret the things you didn't do more than those you did when you look back in twenty years time, so don't fear failure embrace it'
