Jack Wilshere: Norwich interim boss completes London Marathon
28 April 2025Norwich City interim boss Jack Wilshere had a very busy – and tiring – weekend.
He took charge of the team for the first time in Saturday’s goalless draw at Middlesbrough, which ended a run of three successive defeats for the Canaries.
Only hours later, however, the former Arsenal and England midfielder was on the start line for the London Marathon – more than 250 miles south of Teesside.
Despite that, he managed to complete the course in a time of 5 hours 4 mins and 33 secs on behalf of the British Heart Foundation.
Prior to the weekend, he said: “The charity I’m running for is really close to my heart and when you have that in your mind and are determined to do something, you’ll do it. I might be in a bad way, but I’ll complete it.”
Great effort, Jack.
