I saw you, yes. I was wondering what sort of loon would dress up like that for 26 miles, and here you are! Well done, by the way
I ran for 2 years as a Spartan...wanted to push myself......never again

On channel 4+1 now.
Dammit, missed it.
4:59 for me, having completed my Olympic Triathlon beforehand.
During the bike leg of that, I crashed after 10 miles, but carried on and was patched up by St Johns. They told me that there was NO WAY I could run, and there was a risk my leg might have to be amputated (no word of a lie), but I ignored them as the adrenaline and sheer-bloodymindedness took over.
Started Triathlon at 5:30am, finished marathon at 14:22. After that, spent six hours (and got 26 stitches for my trouble) at Worthing A&E, eventually getting home around midnight.
Certainly a day to remember, made all the better for the amazing crowds, including the hundreds wondering why I was running in a bike helmet and goggles…
Hopefully, the story will be part of the marathon coverage on Saturday on Channel Four.
This is you presumably, Greg? - Marathon man who battled injury is Local Hero

No disrespect, but you're an idiot
I think it was meant as nicely as possible. And in the nicest way possible, he had a point.No disrespect, but I don't think anyone associated with the two charities that will benefit from over £5,000 from my fundraising will care what you think.
I still can't work out if your incredibly brave or stupid!
See! Seems you're a bit mad. But well done!Even I think I'm a bit of both, to be honest.
