Olympic triathlete Alex Yee will make his debut at the London Marathon on Sunday .

The 27-year-old is the reigning Olympic and world triathlon champion.

Yee is aiming to become only the 10th British man to run the marathon in under 2:09 .

The Briton has been inspired by the spectacle of the London marathon for 10 years .

Olympic champion Yee is keen to utilise his platform as an Olympic champion.

He intends to provide opportunities to school children through the launch of his own foundation.

Yee also hopes documenting his marathon journey on YouTube can demonstrate that elite athletes are not "superhuman", before he stars on the other side of the barriers he used to watch.
