I'm not a huge fan of Sport Relief et al...

Any of our resident endurance athletes around to comment? It's not like he's a professional runner, who has spent years honing his body to this sort of thing.

He's a narcissist who is trying to keep his fading career alive with this stunt.

Conclusion: running a marathon isn't the big deal people make it out to be.

I'm a bit disappointed that Eddie Izzard didn't do it in drag.

He is going a long way to be a virtue signalling leftie

Are there any photos of his feet?

I bet they looked worse than Diver's hand.....

all the money raised by the public through Sport Relief, 50% is used to make a difference right here in the UK, and 50% goes towards transforming lives across the world’s poorest communities.

For those knocking the guy, can I ask what is your biggest endurance achievement? And what you have done for charity?

I don't like the guy. But he has done an enormous amount for charity.

I only did a continuous triple ironman(8 mile swim, 336 mile cycle, 80 mile run). And it fooking killed me. And my feet. I have lost 6 toenails so far - one to go. The first came off after 24 hours taking off most of the skin of my right big toe.

I am a wimp compared to Minestrone who did MDS.

And I bet Minestrone considers himself a wimp relative to Eddie.

I don't see Eddie doing that either. And besides running 27 marathons and not telling anyone wouldn't exactly raise a lot of cash for charity...

We don't see you raising any money for charity either
