A plodder

According to New Zealand film director Michael Bennett, who last year completed the New York Marathon, there are so many similarities between film-making and running it's ridiculous.

"You have to be so utterly committed to both. I've got no talent as a runner. I'm only a plodder. The only thing I bring to running is commitment, focus and bloody-minded determination, and whatever talent I have as a film-maker is based around those same three things."

Yeah, that's me. A plodder.
