Gain worth the pain for marathon man

Lee Dornan could be forgiven for hating the Edinburgh marathon after breaking his foot during his first effort and tearing a muscle in his latest run - but says he would "do it all over again".

The Coatbridge dad ran this year's event in five hours and 32 minutes for the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) charity, for whom he works as an accountant.

After completing the race, Lee said: "I have a wee muscle tear and my feet are in bits, but I am alive!"

For Lee this is an improvement on his 2023 Edinburgh Marathon effort, when he broke two bones in his feet and completed the run in bare feet.
