I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t know what was happening to me. It felt like a curtain dropping over me, like the finale in a West End musical,” he said.
Wayne’s partner, Emily Le Beuvant, who was also running in the race, immediately recognized the symptoms from a TV commercial she had seen, noticing his face had slumped to one side. “Straight away, I knew that it was something serious. My head was saying to me, ‘he’s having a stroke,’ but my heart was like, ‘no, he can’t be,’” Le Beuvant told the outlet.
English was rushed to a hospital in Southampton to undergo a thrombectomy to remove a blood clot in his brain. The procedure was successful, and English is now relearning how to speak. English, 46, had been an avid runner, completing an ultramarathon three weeks before the incident.
