uttoxram75 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Maybe he had to walk home? Is this frogggy?:eek: MOST runners collapse in a heap after the London Marathon. For Sam Robson though it was just the beginning – and he didn’t stop jogging until he reached home another 99 miles away. Advertisement >> His astonishing feat took him just 29 hours in which he burnt off 15,000 calories. Waking up after his 125.2-mile mega trek yesterday, Sam, 28, said: “Running was fine but stopping was the hardest part. “I had to have regular breaks to refill my water and whenever I stopped my legs seized up so I couldn’t rest for long. In terms of tiredness, my legs felt pretty good and the worst bit was I had to keep eating to replace all the calories I was burning. “I woke up feeling surprisingly good. My hip was a bit sore but it feels okay now and my legs are fine.†Epilepsy sufferer Sam, who works as a research scientist, finished the London Marathon in just three hours and 45 minutes on Sunday. As fellow runners celebrated their 26-mile triumph, he carried on through the night to run 99 miles to his home town of St Ives, Cambs.

uttoxram75 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 This is froggg really folks.......... .A man dressed as Brian the Snail from The Magic Roundabout has finished the London Marathon - 26 days after it started. Lloyd Scott travelled along the 26.2-mile course face-down on a sled, wearing the costume. He was raising awareness to help children with mobility issues by collecting money for charity Action For Kids. Crossing the line, he said: "That is not an experience I want to repeat." The 49-year-old from Essex suffered nosebleeds, vomiting and cramp as he crawled across broken glass, nails and dog mess. At one point he was rushed to hospital to have the blood vessels in his nose cauterised. He was also sick inside the 9ft-long outfit because he was not able to digest food properly. Mr Scott said: "It has been very demanding but I want the focus to be on the charity. "It is all been about raising money to change these young kids' lives and help them realise their potential. "I have chosen to make this difficult for myself but these kids don't have that choice. Every day they're confronted with mobility issues." He ran his first London marathon in 1990 after fighting leukaemia, and has raised more than £5m for charities so far. The former professional footballer once travelled the length of the race in an antique diving suit and has completed an underwater marathon in Loch Ness. . http://uk.news.yahoo.com/snails-pace-man-finishes-marathon-26-days-125005644.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
