BBC Radio 2 - Vernon Kay, John Bishop is Vernon's Children in Need Champion today!

John Bishop is Vernon's guest on a special Children in Need edition of Tracks of My Years.

Continuing a special Vernon's Children in Need Champions edition of Tracks of My Years, John Bishop is the latest endurance hero to offer up hints, tips and tracks to motivate.

It's a special week on Tracks of My Years, as Vernon gets two motivational songs and a pep talk from a different celebrity each day - his Children in Need Champions, all of whom have been through an endurance challenge of their own.

Today, it's the turn of comedian John Bishop with his advice for taking on a physical test of this scale. In 2012, John rowed and ran from Paris to Trafalgar Square, covering more than 290 miles in five days, in an event dubbed his 'Week of Hell'.

Plus, there'll be more audio nuggets from the BBC Archive in Vernon's Vault and, of course, the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
