Mark went on to explain: 'I'm absolutely gutted by the news that I'm not going to be able to compete.'
He added: 'I went to the Running Show to pick up my race number the other day which made me even more excited for it, but after a scan the physio confirmed I have a grade two tear and there's a big risk that if I ran on Sunday I could make it worse.
'It's hard to take, but of course I'm going to be down there on the day, cheering along all the runners.
