I’m mainly a swimmer nowadays, but I’ve done a couple of marathons back in the day. For a while my ambition was to do five marathons, I thought that that would put me in a fairly select club. Lots of people have done one or two, not many are dedicated enough to have done five. But that’s absolutely nothing compared to someone I’ve just been made aware of:
Ben is running 401 marathons on 401 consecutive days.
Stop a minute and think about that – that is a marathon day for OVER A YEAR!
He’s doing to raise money for charity and would love your support in any way you can manage. I don’t know how much more I can write about it here – just go to his site and see more and cheer him on: http://www.the401challenge.co.uk/
That makes my legs hurt just thinking about it. I’ve run 3 in a year and that was plenty.
If I can get back in shape and my body cooperates, I may run 2 marathons this year.
I know, bonkers isn’t it? But well done to him. I think he’s already on number 130 or so.
Impressive and quite generous ,I tip my hat to him .
