On a somewhat wet and gloomy day in London British Comedian Eddie Izzard ran his 43rd marathon in record time to circumnavigate Great Britain for charity.
The 47-year-old actor turned ultra runner almost broke 5-hours on his last marathon in 51 days as he crossed the finish line to a cheering crowd of well wishers.
"My feet blistered up terribly, then started healing when I shoved them in surgical spirit," says Izzard. "Then they reblistered because you've got new skin coming through.
According to the BBC:
"He has run at least 27 miles a day, six days a week, over the past seven weeks, covering more than 1,110 miles of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
The aim - to raise what he calls, in classic whimsical Izzard style, "billions" for charity Sport Relief."
