Running: Tom Cruise training for New York

That's Mr. Cruise on one of his training runs, interesting way to improve one's speed!

Tom Cruise has caught the running bug since his missus Katie Holmes did the New York Marathon. His pal told us: "When he saw her running that race, something kicked inside him and he decided he'd have to do it - possibly in Boston. That's the kind of guy he is."

The clean-living movie star has been hitting the treadmill every day since and is determined to record a better time than Katie, who ran New York in November just a year after giving birth to their daughter, Suri.

She finished in a sedate five hours, 29 minutes, and he's vowed to "crush" her time. Come on, Tom, give yourself a real target. Even that 100-year-old bloke in London probably got home quicker than Katie did...
