Rob took up running in 2009 and went on to complete numerous races, including a marathon. In 2024, his father-in-law Patrick died of cardiac arrest, alongside his uncle and a grandparent. After injuries forced him to pull out of two London Marathons, a scan revealed a slipped disc and a specialist advised him to give up running forever, but he is now working to take on the race in 2027.
