Good luck to everyone running the #LondonMarathon today!

According to Herodotus, the original ‘marathon runner’ was a messenger called Pheidippides, who ran from Athens to Sparta to seek help against the Persian forces, covering 260km in two days 🏃‍♂‍

Cat-lovers will recognise the struggle 🐈

🎂 Leonardo Da Vinci was born #OnThisDay in 1452.
