Respect to Eddie. Amazing acheivement what he has done already. He sounded so dejected in the second video diary though. But it was pouring with rain. I'd love to go and cheer him on - will have a look for the route as I don't Twitter.
Did you see he had a day off yesterday ? So he threw an impromptu gig in Keswick ! Would have snapped up tickets for it - but I was too far away to get there in time ! Damnit !
About Half way there I reckon ? Stranraer tonight - quick jaunt round Belfast and back to Scotland to Edinburgh and then a Boltesque sprint for London. How hard can it be ?
He started by walking for 10 hours each day and has progressed to running for 5 hours. So the first days were effectively training for the later ones. Maybe?
Well he wasnt walking by the time he got to the North West. I think his running did get faster by the end, but I dont think he was walking his marathons. He did do a lot of meeting and greeting along the way too - so thats not conducive to a fast marathon time.

mmmmm cake
So he's still going strong then
Keep going Eddie
Fantastic feat.
(ha - pun intended)
He's flyyyying !
Stranraer!!???? Stranrear??!!
Keep going Eddie, yoooo can doooo eeet
I'd be lucky to be walking after doing all that, let alone running!!
Did I mention that before the run began on the monday - he went out on the friday - to run a marathon to see if he could ???
I do wonder about his support team - I cant imagine the RW training plan for Running the UK has a 26.2 2 days before the race.....
I dont know whats more impressive - 1100 miles running, or willingly getting into 42 ice baths ????
He's braver than me, 42 ice baths?????? no thanks
I wonder how he is doing injury wise? somethings must be really hurting by now.
Here's his twitter update today.......
"Finished my 28th marathon. Getting really tough. I just have no energy in my body. I shovel in food but it's never enough. 15 maras to go"
The man's a running legend!
Fantastic Eddie!!!!!!!! An amazing achievment!
He's home
News report
WELL DONE EDDIE
I dont really see how he could skip bits when everyone knew whereabouts he did it.
I really think he did it all and we just make out that marathons are harder than they really are.
yeah cougie, we should all get on with it and stop whinging!
The guy is a ledge, i do wonder how's he's done it, i do also think he did do some training, his legs would have fallen off surely!
smith he had people running with him practically every step of the way - once people got to know about it
you are such a cynic
you said the same about the blue peter girl
What Blue Peter girl - have I missed anything ?
He's finished now - ended in Trafalgar Square. I can't believe he'd only trained for 5 weeks beforehand though. How is that possible??????
Anyway, well done to him. An amazing feat.
