Ben Snowball is facing a race against the clock to get himself in shape for the forthcoming BUCS Cross Country Championships... as a supporter.
"His energetic style and methods of encouragement require a physique he just doesn't have at the moment," said a spokesman for the amateur footballer.
Upping his training to include three brisk fifteen minute walks to lectures, Snowball has also developed a passion for fighting the sofa.
His university switch from Loughborough to Sheffield has called many to question his allegiance. One insider said Snowball didn't know whether African violet or black and gold was his chosen fashion statement.
"I will be doing my upmost to support both teams," said Snowball at the launch of his new work out DVD - citing the recent Tottenham Hotspur vs Peterborough United FA Cup match as an example of him splitting loyalties.
"I can easily support them both. I managed 16 press ups last night and will complete my set of ten sit ups when I get home [he did five this morning].
Meanwhile, Sebastian Coe supported Snowball's bid to walk the 10km at the BUCS Track & Field Championships at the Olympic Stadium in May.
He said: "If you can't run it then plodding around is the next best thing. I just hope he isn't bullied.
"To be honest I doubt if he could even finish it."

Snowball Wants Your Vote!
Tuesday 11th May won't be remembered as the day Britain pulled our troops out of Iraq. Instead, it will be known as the day Ben Snowball's campaign for Men's Cross Country Captain sprung to life. And what a day it was.
On that very same morning, 12.30am, the facebook group was created. Popularity was always going to be a factor but, with six new members in the first four hours, the issue didn't arise.
Snowball's proposer, Chris Perry, was eager to spread the word. 'He's a superb individual, full of ideas, and has a lot of love to spread round the club. When I grow up I want to be just like him.' However, whispers circulating the Snowball camp have suggested that Perry may never reach 'human height', and may always be condemned to a life on stilts.
With talk that the recent Conservative-LibDem coalition may cut funding to the club, Snowball was quick to quash these rumours. 'I've spoken with Mr Cameron and I can assure you that the club is safe. He came across very well and, until he offered me a puff of his joint (to which I politely declined), I thought we could become facebook friends. I was even tempted to poke him.'
Snowball's Story urges you to do the right thing and vote Snowball on 19th May. It might just be the best thing you do. We will win BUCS Cross Country. And we'll have the most emotional pre-race huddle, so highly-strung that some of you will drop out before the race has began due to tears clouding your vision.
Vote Snowball. Anything you want, let him know.
