Paul's no need to feel Down after great south effort
Chichester businessman Paul Down raised £500 for the Wessex Heartbeat charity in the 2008 BUPA Great South Run.
The sales director of Matform Ltd managed to quicken his pace in the premier 10-miler to finish in a time of 1 hr 42 min – three minutes faster than his time in last year's event.
"I was pleased with the time considering how slow it was at the start," said Paul.
"I was in with the Green Wave of competitors – there were lots of fun-runners."
Paul celebrated his achievement on the soggy streets of Portsmouth & Southsea with a drink and a curry at his Bognor home.
"I'd not had any alcohol for a month as I'd been on a strict training regime. I'd been trying to do things properly and it seemed to work," he added.
Paul has raised more than 3,500 for charity over the years.
