Yes everyone got to tell you that although he still officially holds the record he's out to smash it.
He will be in Selfridges on Oxford Road- some town called London from Friday at 4pm.
He is aiming to beat 137.6
All support if you're window shopping in the area will be welcome.

Sorry Benz I was not very clear he has to cram as many miles as possible into 48 hours on a treadmill, he did the last one in Asda- but he's gone upmarket and is in Selfridges this time.

He's not the fastest of runners- but he does keep going, and going.
I will be getting updates on his mileage over the next couple of days so I will keep putting them on.

Hi Monique, pass on my best wishes to Paul will you.
Benz-Paul ran the Shakespeare marathon just a few days after finishing the Marathon de Sables and finished ahead of me. He was looking really comfortable when he passed me!!

Hello Paul.
Benz he does spend some time walking- and completed some of the latter miles last time in slippers as the heat from the treadmill belt had made his feet swell.

He'll be getting some very odd looks if he wears them again.
