    May have missed this on the thread - but has anyone mentioned Eddie Izzard yet? running 30 miles a day for 7 weeks - that's unbelievable (especially given that he's apparently only done 4 weeks' training...)

    He wont have that paunch when he's finished!:p

    To run 180 miles per week for 7 consecutive weeks will require a hell of a lot of sleep however easily he is taking it.

    It is tough to maintain between 80-100 miles per week for more tha 3-4 weeks believe me......so if he does it, it will be a huge achievement over such a long period of time.

    Methinks there may well be a large degree of judicious cheating as the challenge progresses......the BBC/Sports Relief have no reason to let the actuality get in the way of a good story.;)

    Well it seems a lot of people have been plodding along with him checking he's still moving - I've signed up to his twitter so I'll know if he's running past, but think he's gone by already - I'd have been on the london-swansea leg he's just finishing now. Sure you can keep an eye on him when he's up your way :D

    The 1000 mile world record is 10 Days 10 Hours and 10 Minutes, run in New York in 1988.

    So based on that hes set himself a pretty soft challenge!

    That will give him a WAVA of about 15%....pathetic!;)
