  • Top 5 London Marathon Costumes
    • ]]>     Last night I sat down and began the usual flicking of channels to find something interesting to watch when i saw on BBC3 there was an Eddie Izzard show on. Great I thought, I havent seen any of his stand up in ages so sat back and began to watch it.

    Eddie Izzard marathon man

    What I didn’t realise was the show, Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man, was actually a 3 part documentary about his epic challenge to run around the UK for charity. Sounds pretty hard work to start off with but then you find out that he plans to do it by running 43 marathons in 51 days, which will cover 1166 miles! That is a marathon a day, seix days a week for 8 weeks!

    It just sounds insane to me and I’m a young guy who isn’t in too bad shape (cough cough) but for a 47 year old, slightly podgy transvestite comedian who only had 5 weeks of training this seems like a heroic endevour and shows he has a lot of will power. Seriously Imagine running the London Marathon 43 times in a row!

    The first part of the documentary was shown yesterday but you can watch it on iPlayer if you want. You can check it out here
