Eddie Izzard
A lot of people have asked me how Eddie Izzard ran his 43 marathons in 51 days, and I have no idea. My conclusion is you actually have to be a bit mental. Not only that, but his stupendous feat makes a half or even a whole marathon seem pedestrian, which is hugely unfair, especially on those running the London marathon next weekend and have been training for a year!
I’m in awe of what he’s done, have no idea how he did it, but it should take nothing away from someone who has but in a massive shift in preparation for running 26 miles.
