Train in Vain: Did Joe Strummer Actually Run the London and Paris Marathons?

Well, did he or didn't he?

I think the story that he ran Patis is deeply suspect (https://runandjumpblog.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/joe-strummer-and-the-paris-marathon/), though it's possible.

I remember reading Smash Hits about his first London run though.

It's probably best not to ask about his training regimen as they say. Or indeed anyones...

Does it matter? No.

This is all about as relevant to athletics as my cover version of Heartbreak Hotel, recorded in the touristy gimmick recording studio in Nashville, is to the music forum.
