The great British comedian just ran 43 marathons in only 51 days! He had nearly no experience leading up to it. He’s 47 years old. And he is more accostomed to spiked heels than running shoes.
He’s raised over 200,000 British pounds for sport relief, in the process. He had this to say before he finished:
“It’s been hell, 26 miles a day is a lot. Try that six times a week. At first the last six miles were pure agony. Then it changed to the first six miles. Then it was the middle chunk. But now it’s pretty much all the same. My feet are disintegrating, the small toes have lost their nails and they look like alien monsters but I’m told they will grow back. But I’ll make it; my body isn’t really determined but my brain is.”
