‘The combination of long hours in the kitchen or at shows, stress, money worries, not feeling good enough, the list goes on.
‘November 2024 I wasn’t happy, life was busy and stressful as always, which I’m very thankful for.
‘I’d had both my knees operated on in the space of a year. I hadn’t been able to run and had completely lost any motivation.’
Marcus said he decided to make a change in December 2024, aware that he was going to run this year’s London Marathon.
He said he aimed to run three miles between 3-4 times a week while increasing his body strength to build up slowly.
Sharing snaps of his ripped, chiseled physique, Marcus told fans he’s ‘proud’ of what he’s achieved.
He added: ‘I don’t have a PT, I don’t have a nutritionist, I’ve just created my only little plan, eating better as much as possible, upping my protein and reducing my carbs.
‘One thing I don’t do is diet, I also don’t weigh myself, just use my clothes and how they fit as a measure of progress.
