Adam Bardsley - Bonkers running friend


A work contact of mine is doing the most amazing thing. Not only is he the Managing Director of a successful telcoms software company, but he also runs marathons really quickly (I think he did Berlin in 2 hrs 40). This time he is doing a non-stop 48 hour treadmill relay with 11 other runners directly before the London Marathon. That means that each of them are going to run 40 miles in about 4 hours, finishing at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning. They will then run London "as a warm down"! See his charity website -

I think that this a seriously impressive thing to do (if a little bonkers). If you want to cheer them on, they are running on a treadmill in the window of the Lillywhite's store in Picadilly Circus.
