Eddie Izzard's long run


It comes with a bit of a delay, I am well aware of that. But I have just got to know about it so here it goes: crossdresser stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard, author and performer of such classics as the
Death Star Canteen, ran 43 (yep, four times ten plus three) marathons in 51 days. Now, you probably either don't believe this or think: "Well, he probably just jogged or walked briskly for a few ours every day." But just try to walk 30-40 kilometers a day (at the pace you want) for one week and you will know better what you are speaking about.
Besides, he had a purpose to all this. His mega-run was organized to raise funds for Sport Relief, a charity organization that helps poor and disadvantaged people. Watch the youtube video that was taken after his destination at Trafalgar Square, London and read more about the details of the run here.
