Jeremy helps to power Sara Cox to the finishing line of her Great Northern Marathon Challenge in Pudsey.

We talk to experts about getting through the last part of a challenge like this. A choir joins us in the studio.

The Olympic gold medallist Sally Gunnell tells us how much of an inspiration Sara has been for women over 50.

We’ll speak to some of Sara’s best friends who are on the route and discuss the role Yorkshire has played in propelling her to the end of her incredible feat.
