Interviewer:
Hello, Baba Fauja Singh Ji…Today you ran in the Edinburgh marathon, how was it?
Fauja Singh:
It was very good. It was very busy with a lot of people. Many boys who had previously ran a 26 mile marathon ran very well and also some people who only ran a bit also done very well. The whole event was very well organised
Interviewer:
It was very cold today, how did you cope in this weather?
Fauja Singh:
It rained a lot and it was very cold. For the people who were running I guess they did not feel as much as the supporters who were sitting.
Along the route there was a first aid centre, like a small make-shift medical camp which we relied on in this cold weather, otherwise it would be very difficult to complete the run.
Interviewer:
So, where is your next run going to be?
Fauja Singh:
Wherever the next run takes place and wherever I get invited, I will be there (laughs with interviewer)
Interviewer:
What is your message to young people? Should they run and how?
Fauja Singh:
Yes, everyone should run both boys and girls. We already have many people who participate in marathons, which is good to see.
