I remember he had some publicity for 27 marathons in 27 days but did anyone realise he has already done 23 - the 24th is already underway! I don't read the sport pages but I would have though there would have been some headline at 5 or 10 down? |

I'm not a huge fan of his work, but what he is doing is an astonishing feat and he is doing it for such a good cause I can't help but admire his intention ......  |

I've ran nowhere near that, or with such frequency, what an incredible physics effort. My enough publicity, I'm sure he'll get there and raise a big amount though. |

I can barely get my head round doing one marathon. Doing this many, back to back is beyond amazing to me. |

"He's getting publicity via the Chris Evan Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1 each morning, usually between 8.30 & 9am.
As of this morning he'd raised around £440k for Sport Relief."
Ooops, I meant, BBC Radio 2. |

"I saw him live once and wasn't massively impressed, but I do like the Death Star canteen, though. The youtube upload is especially good  "
He might perform better if he got elected as an MP. Would love to see him glammed up in parliament. I'll not rush to book stand-up comedy show tickets Tina. |

"Is that only happening now? I remember having a conversation about it a while ago and assumed he'd already done it. Good on him.  "
yep - he's broke sweat n everything. Seen a report buried on the BBC site but haven't seen anything on any of the other major ones |

If you think what Eddie Izzard is impressive,There is a guy who is planning to do 401 marathons in a row for anti bullying charties. He has already done 199 and is due to do 200 tomorrow. Check out his website - 401 challenge. His name is Ben Smith. |

It's not the first time he's done lots of back to back marathons.
I think it's an amazing achievement  |

He did 42 in 51 days in 2009 too!
Had to abandon a similar challenge in 2011 due a serious kidney problem, this time he lost a day to dehydration so is doing a double marathon on last day!
Top bloke! |
