Neil Lennon to give Garry Parker a run for his money in Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run For the 10k we've been doing three or four-mile runs, two or three times a week, so Garry and I should be OK. When I stopped playing I decided to give my body a rest for a while. That was important because then I could enjoy the other things in life but since I got back into this I've lost more or less a stone. I would like to get down another half a stone to my fighting weight, which is about 13st 5lbs, because I'm quite big boned. The running has been very beneficial and so has the change in diet. That's why it's called a fun run, but the main emphasis is also raising money for charity which is fantastic. The atmosphere is amazing. People might do it for a chosen charity or for their own fitness levels. Some have suffered loss and there's a lot of emotion involved in this, but everybody has a sense of achievement that they've done something fulfilling and worthwhile. "We plan to keep it going and maybe do the half-marathon in six months" time. The ultimate ambition would be to do the marathon. Celtic are also participants in the Football Fans in Training scheme, with funding from the SPFL Trust, the charitable arm of the Scottish leagues. The qualification is a minimum 38-inch waistband and two years ago 412 FFIT participants lost a total of 2,300 kilos in weight - another reason why Lennon wants to set an example tomorrow. We get a lot of those guys up here and it's very important that a club with the profile of Celtic gives a lot back, not just to charity but also to activities that promote health and well-being. I haven't got a target time for Sunday. We want to get inside the hour. We'll get 5k in and maybe kick on. We've worked around Lennoxtown - and it's a bit hilly here! - so we hope the course will be flatter and easier. The Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run will be broadcast live for three hours on BBC Two on Sunday from 10.30am. mydonate.bt.com/events/officialneil
