      I'll be really impressed if he runs in heels
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        I think anyone running a marathon distance every day for several weeks is worthy of some respect... especially if raising money for charities. I heard about this a while ago, certainly wouldn't have thought he looked like a serious runner previously.

            I used to run a half marathon every day and a full marathon at the weekend, my legs are totally shot now and I can't walk right for 10 minutes when I wake up in the morning.

            I'm planing to get back to that when I am benched as soon as my contract ends in 3 weeks, it's that or a new belt.

            Total respect to him for doing the full ones, he will be on a shed load of energy drinks, recovery drinks, ice baths to keep that up. Sometimes I would open my front door and just lie down on the hall floor I was that shattered, could not make it to the sofa.

              I'm having to rest for a while, my knee clicks! It's mega anoying you can hear me a mile away. It's not soar either, any tips how to get rid of it?

                You layabout. I do a full marathon every morning before I go to the toilet and another one before I wash.

                Then I do another one on my way to work and again on the way home.

                I've run so much I don't have feet anymore and have to go around on the stumps. Next week they are going to cut me off to above the knee. But rest assured that I will run all the way to the hospital prior to the operation with the stumps as they are and run all the way back no more than 10 mins after the doctor has chopped the bits off.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  I see this is now on TV.

                  Just watched the first episode and boy does it look grueling.

                    I often leave something that looks like a marathon behind when I go to the toilet. Although this morning it was more of a curly wurly.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
