Credit to him. Sure he started just doing 1 mile runs last year - now progressed to this.

Well done HB.

 

Yeah started running after he had breakdown.

 

Inspiring lad. Good luck to him.

 

Viewing some of his posts and replies, there's some absolute ****s out there.

 

I saw that. I just don't get it.

Whatever pace he's running at is irrelevant.

 

Marcus is a real inspiration.

His City blogs were fantastic last season. He's obviously been to some dark places and his running looks like it's been a real positive for him.

Long may it continue.

Good luck to the lad. I enjoyed his blogs as well. What a Herculean effort to run Lands End to JOG. Chapeau.

 

He's nearly done it!

 

Amazing achievement.

 

I run 5km and my knee plays up.

Run 5km 5 days in a row and I get shin splints.

And I’m still young, and in good fitness even if I am a bit fat.

This is an unbelievable achievement.

 

I can do that 5k easy if her indoors drives me .

 

So he’s been running 20-25 miles every day for over a month?
It’s a massive achievement

 

Most people can’t even walk the day after running a marathon

 

I couldn’t walk to start the marathon, but it is inspirational what he has done even to some twat like me.

 

His transformation has been incredible. I had to double take when I saw a recent picture of him. Absolute credit to him.

 

He has raised mega money too! Well done him, really awesome effort.

 

Well done to this lad because it is a remarkable achievement. On a similar theme does anyone remember Action Group chairman, Dave Dewberry doing a sponsored walk to raise funds for Hull City?
He, and I think a couple of others walked around the perimeter of the Boothferry Park pitch non stop for 24 hours, ending just before the kick off of a home game. I forget which game it was. The club were famously on the edge of bankrupcy at the time and although the Action Group was at odds with the clubs ownership it was Dave's idea to offer an olive branch by doing this sponsored walk. He completed it too, telling me the club didn't even offer him a cup of tea or any encouragement at all, even showing him to a door when he completed the walk, which led him outside so that he had to pay to get back in to watch the game.
It's the little things that you remember.
Wonder where he is these days?

 

I sit next to Marcus at City and you couldn't meet a more genuine lad. When he first mentioned this run to me last year I poo pooed it, stating all the reasons why he couldn't/shouldn’t consider it...my goodness, has he proved me wrong !
