Marathon Man

** Click here for Episode 174 **

We know that a lot of you use the pumping beats of AMT to keep you entertained whilst running (that counts as us doing exercise too, right?), so would like to say a very big “Good luck!” to all of you listeners who are running the London Marathon this Sunday. But we reserve the biggest amount of “Good luck!” for Sam from Cambridgeshire:

I am running the London Marathon. However, because I am a little strange, I have decided that 26.2 miles just isn’t enough, and have decided to run the 86 miles back home again to St. Ives, Cambridgeshire, straight afterwards.

This foolhardiness is all in the name of charity, as I am raising money for the Epilepsy Society, aiming to raise over £2,000.

We can’t deny that this feat is both very charitable and very foolhardy. Accordingly, we would like you to answer us these in the comments: firstly, have you ever done anything more foolhardy than this in the name of charity; and secondly, have you ever completed an impressive physical feat and followed it with an even more impressive physical feat as a chaser?

    I too use AMT to accompany me on runs.
    I’m not doing anything as silly as running 112.2 miles in one go. I am only running 103 miles in 3 days on the Cotswold Way for the British Heart Foundation.
    Good luck to Sam and all AMT runners in London on Sunday.
