A friend of mine is accompanying this guy in part if his run. Incredible challenge. Just google 401 Challenge to see what he's doing. Worthwhile charities he's doing it for

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

That's about 401 marathons too many for me.

I already support both of those.

Thats not the first time you've asked me that!

On this occasion, I have no idea. 401 marathons in 401 days. Mind blowing challenge

This guy is on Day 224 of this challenge. Done 224 marathons in 224 days.

Mind blowing achievement so far. I hope he does the 401!

Thanks for the update. Lots of running things at the moment.

Credit due to the fella, I'd be lucky to manage 401 metres these days

Amazing guy. Finished it today. Raised over £250k for his charities.

£250k isnt a patch on the increased awareness he has given to his cause. I've followed him for a long time and fully support any nomination for sports personality of the year

Heard him on the radio this morning. A fantastic achievement and a truly humble guy. You can do a virtual marathon up until sunday (so if you see a skinny dude collapsed in the verge with his arse in the air; I tried!)

I've been following his journey. The inter_iew on R4's PM show this evening was really heartening to listen to.

He was very compassionate about the reasons why bullies bully.

His partner also sounds wonderful.

He's running a half marathon in Bristol tomorrow as part of his cool down.

Ah that is good.

It can be a massive come down after you have finished a race. Let alone something this big.

When you look at Martin Yelling having to pull out of running the South West coast path run, it makes this even more amazing
