An absolutely amazing achievement.

Someone was making some incredible bottom noises in the khazi at the Odeon cinema last night circa 21:15hrs. Can't be 100% certain it was from his trap, but he emerged from either the 'noisy' trap or the one right next to it and jogged off out through the Odeon to continue his incredible feat.

Is there any possibility that Dan could be joined later this evening by at least 10 professional footballers?

(Either way, tremendous effort, Dan. Keep on running...)

So the OP's statement "He's been running non-stop for 23 hours now..." was a lie, unless it was referring to his bowel consistency!

Saw Dan running into Ovingdean as I left to go to the station this morning...and again, same place when returning from Upton Park. He'd run two marathons in that time, and was still going strong. Respect, Dan.

Saw Dan again, in Ovingdean, running with the masses, and running strongly, this morning. He was on his eigth and final marathon, having run through Friday night, Saturday day and night, and Sunday morning. Inspirational. I thought he was mad when he did four back to back marathons last year, but this achievement blows my mind. I'll be donating.

Will he be able to just stop or does he have to do one hell of a warm down...

Saw him about half way through the last one. Didn't look any worse than anyone else. Brilliant, brilliant achievement.

Can't imagine how your body would start recovering from that. Legs must feel like lead for weeks
