Well thats according to the website
UPDATE: Just read something on the SKY News site that says he was aiming for 14 hours – hence why its not the site. Go Buster – don’t give up the finish line is nigh!

Anyone know his time?
Keep an eye out for Buster Martin running it at the grand age of 101. I hope i’m doing the same at his age.

The Great North Run 2008 – Sponsor me? [please]
June 1, 2008I can’t be bothered to write a post so i’ll just copy n paste what I’ve wrote on my Justgiving page
”Hello one and all. As you probably know I took part in the Great North Run in 2006 crossing the line in a most un-respectful 16201th and finishing in an un-record breaking time of 2 hours and 5 mins. Personally I blame the niggling groin injury, one too many lucozades, the hellish pain in my knees and the other 16200 runners who prevented me from first place. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again as the old adage goes so 2008 sees my return to Newcastle and The Great North Run. I’m still running for arc (more about them below) just a bit quicker this time. If you can sponsor me a few quid it would be brill and also motivate me to break the half marathon world record which I wholeheartly intend on doing – watch out Radcliffe I’ve got you in my sights!”
Would be great if you could sponsor me
