Eddie Izzard has completed an amazing 43 marathons in 51 days in aid of Sport Relief.

After only five weeks of training he ran 1,105 miles accompanied by his tour manager, sports therapist and an ice cream van. He was also joined occasionally by members of the public as well as the likes of Steve Cram and other celebrities. 

Incredibly, over the course of his runs he halved his time - starting off at 10hours and just missing out on the 5hour mark by 30 seconds on the last leg. He also had to take an ice bath each day, suffered blisters on his blisters and lost the nails on his outside toes.

Now its over he says he's going to sleep for a week, and who can blame him.

Great job Eddie! Eddie Izzard can be sponsored on the Sport Relief Donation Page, just click the link.
