London Marathon Runner Died After Suffering Breathing Difficulties Before Race

Phil Fielding

A runner who died at the finishing line of the London Marathon had suffered breathing problems in the weeks before the race.

Robert Berry, 42, described how breathing during training was "a big struggle" in a post on his blog just seven days before the 26-mile run.

He wrote: "I have now used my inhaler 3 times in the last week whereas I might use it 3 times in year."

Mr Berry was running to raise money for the National Osteoporosis Society and more than £50,000 has been donated via his JustGiving page since he died.
