Exeter City football coaches go for shorter distance with London Marathon

Two of Exeter City’s Football in the Community coaches, Dan Leverton and Jack Gill, are preparing to run the London Marathon on Sunday - and while most people build up to the 26.2-mile distance in training, Dan and Jack have done things rather differently.

The last time they completed a distance run was in Princesshay in February, when they ran on a treadmill for 24 hours to raise money for the Meningitis Trust, a cause close to their hearts after the death of their friend and team-mate, Paul Cridland, seven years ago at the age of 18.

Following Exeter’s home defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge, manager Paul Tisdale lamented what has been a frustrating week for the Grecians.

A third consecutive defeat has left City trying to secure a play-off place in the final four fixtures. The Daggers took an early lead through a Scott Doe header and the Grecians were never able to carve out the opportunities to overturn the scoreline, and Paul drew attention to the lack of cohesion on the field which was going to make getting a result difficult.

“It’s been a really bad week,” conceded Tis. “I’ve just stood in the...
