Andy Greenleaf, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst who came 45th in this year’s London Marathon in an astonishing 2 hours 27 minutes – just 20 minutes 7 seconds behind the winner – has jogged off to be a senior consultant at financial services group Capco.

Financial News christened him the fastest man in the City in April, and last week caught up with him at his new London offices. Greenleaf was phlegmatic about the challenges of balancing a City job and serious running.
