Three months after fracturing his neck in a major bicycle accident, MTV’s “Catfish” host Nev Schulman is ready to run the New York City Marathon.

Schulman is expected to take off from the marathon starting line this Sunday, Nov. 3, defying the predictions of some who thought he’d never walk again.

“I just remember the look on every nurse and doctor’s face as they came into the room for the first time,” Schulman told the New York Post. “[They were] expecting me to be some version of paralyzed, and being so shocked, and almost confused.

“They’d all come in and do the same tests every few hours.
