What do you need for the perfect holiday?

I need it to be a short flight from my home in Sonning, Berkshire. I need to be able to speak the language I speak Greek, Hungarian, Hebrew, English and German. It must always be warm. It must have the sea, a lake or a river for the powerful positive energy of water and it cannot be a place that is polluted. Many places fit those criteria.

Whats your best piece of travel advice?

Make sure youre insured. There are so many horror stories about people getting sick or injured and having to spend 200,000 on hospital bills to get home.

What do you always take with you?

I take rubber exercise bands, my Achilles tendon stretcher, running shoes, vitamins, sunglasses, sanitiser gel, face masks in case I encounter major pollution and, of course, my wife.

Where do you want to go next?

Israel. I havent been for seven years. Its an incredible country: the Holy Land where religions meet. Im in love with old Jaffa, its a 5,000-year old town by Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean. Im looking forward to running with Hanna from Tel Aviv to Jaffa and back again.

...and disasters?

Whats the worst hotel youve stayed in?
