Well done Eddie!

Who would imagine a once high-heeled wearer comedian would achieve such heights of 43 marathons in 52 days? And he did it all for the sake of charity, Sports Relief. I must admit, that’s powerful! But there were some skeptics saying a 10-hour run doesn’t count as a marathon because it is almost like walking pace. With very lil prep time, Izzard, did well. Actually, he got better and sped up to a decent 5-hour per marathon towards the end. I bet it was both mentality and physically gruelling. But tremendous work, indeed Eddie. You’re a legend! Even the dubbed ultra-marathoner, Dean Karnazes, who once ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days in the US, would be proud of you.
