I think he's going to be in Kendal tonight. I've warned my chum who lives there - suggested she give him cake, but she's quite shy.

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 !

Fantastic feat.

(ha - pun intended)

Cougie when you ran with him, how fast was he going would you say?
I'd be lucky to be walking after doing all that, let alone running!!

Hmmm - he was going at a very nice chatty pace I would say - probably 5 or 6 miles an hour ?

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.....

Oh and he's having ice baths each night. Clearly thats the key.

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.

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 ?

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!

I think it is great what he has raised but I don't believe for one second he really did it all. And all that nonsense about no training, rubbish!

Oh yeee of little face. He did the 5 miles that I ran with him.

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!

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?
