Eddie Izzard...what An Amazing Guy

[dieseldick]

years ago i couldnt stand him, how my feelings have changed since watching his progress on running 27 marathons !! wow !!

im just thinking he still looks as if he has some spare tyres around the gut, i would of thought after being through all this, all the training even beforehand how he could still look as if he is carrying weight .

anyway what a great guy.

He is amazing.
Regarding the weight, training for marathons doesn't necessarily make you lose weight.
Professional marathon runners choose that race distance because they are skinny; they don't become skinny by doing marathons.
Anyway, EI has done something fantastic and because of him I've donated to a TV telethon charity for the first time.

I just saw him on the news and was a bit shocked at how thin he looked. Did you miss the 43 marathons in 51 days he did in 2009? Ive been a fan for 20 years so I think he's amazing anyway.

He is certainly fit and has the stamina to run and run. Very impressive.

[ummmm]

He's amazing.

I watched an interview mid run and he talked about his chipped nail varnish....not blisters and pain. He's a top man.
