delswal 3,819 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just seen it on the news, Eddie Izzard ran 27 marathons in 27 days in Africa. To cap off the feat, he ran two marathons on the last day due to an unscheduled rest day on day Five. Fair play to him, I doubt I could have that on me bike never mind running it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

planete 120 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 There is obviously more to the man than the lipstick and nail varnish. Respect from me even if I find him odd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,843 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 He didn't run them he ran some of the way, walked or crawled most and probably jumped in the van when the cameras were off. I'd say it was impossible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,609 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 My mate has done 10 in 10 days and was fecked physically but more mentally. i would say it was nigh on impossible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I gotta take my hat off to him. Thats twice he's done such a feat. Dont mind the bloke tbh, i can see past all the makeup etc. He's a smart bloke with an iron will. That closet homo Walliums did the Channel swim and was highly praised for it. Izzard's efforts are far greater imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hats off to the man that takes some physical and mental toughness ......That's easy when your a face on telly and have a team running round doing all the chasing up for you. Corporate companies are falling over themselves to be seen to be doing the right thing. Same with all those famous people "climbing" Kilimanjaro. If it was me or you, we'd be happy to raise a couple of hundred quid. If half of these so called celebrities dipped into their own pockets they wouldn't need to do it. I'll bet a gong is in the post now for our Eddie. It's impossible to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say it was impossible Why is it impossible? Like AT says above, that bloke from Liverpool did 40 in 40 days. Granted not in Africa heat but even so a massive feat. What's your experience with marathons to doubt the man? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,843 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Physically and mentally unless you're a finally honed athlete with lots of experience, then I say the human body isn't capable. Look at he finishers in a marathon., they're fecked, even the decent club runners. I do long distance walking, sometimes covering a marathon distance and it takes some getting over, but to do it 27 times! Like I said, run, walk, get a lift etc etc?
