Spotlight on ... Ray Holden, architect

Careers & Training
Position: Associate director of Fletcher Priest Architects in London

- How did you find running the London marathon?

This was my third time running the London marathon and it was a lot harder than previously. Starting out it was wet, which played havoc with my feet and contributed to me losing some toenails. There was great support from the crowd.

I was happy to finish but sad to end the experience.

- How much money have you raised so far for the London Early Years Foundation?

I have raised about £1,000, which will help fund subsidised places at LEYF settings. I decided to raise money for LEYF as my sister is a trustee.

- Would you consider running the marathon next year?

Never again - although I said that last time. I ran the race in just over three hours and am now planning on rest and relaxation. I've been training every weekend since Christmas, so my weekends are now my own again.
