A Difficult Challenge - Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man - BBC Three

[DaHurler1]

more respect for this man than i do for every single sportsman today. HE is the true sporting role-model for children growing up....not granny-fumbler rooney

I absolutely adore Eddie as a comedian, and to see him complete this series of marathons is just the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Not to belittle his achievements, but I can't help wondering if lack of running history is an advantage. Runners I know personally, and myself, we all have ongoing problems in the knees or ankles. I had "shin-splints" for six months once (ouch!). So to be a 47-year-old with no history of running, is that Eddie's secret strength....? What an incredible guy.
