Eddie Izzard: 'I once ran 90km in just under 12 hours. That was a tough day'

I feel bad for Eddie Izzard , miscalculating miles while training is no joke! 6 miles sounds like a breeze but adding that extra mile somehow made it a whole different story . And then on top of that he's doing a double marathon challenge in South Africa? That's mental ! I'm impressed he pushed through after being in the hospital, talk about dedication and perseverance . The west side hills in Northern Ireland really got to him though, I'd love to know more about those hills .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around that crazy feat by Eddie Izzard ! I mean, who needs that much distance covered when you're already running a marathon? 90km is no joke, and it's even more impressive considering she had to make up for an extra day in the hospital . But what really gets me is how she handled the situation - instead of panicking or giving up, she just went all out and smashed that double marathon challenge . I love how she took it in stride and made it into a fun (albeit tough) adventure . And can we talk about her layout for that hospital stay? I'm pretty sure they could've used a more organized schedule, maybe some bullet points or headings to make it easier to navigate? Just saying .

I mean can you even imagine running 6 miles and thinking that's already done? I'd be all like 'wait, no way I've still got so far to go!' anyway, it sounds like Eddie had a real struggle with those hills in Northern Ireland, I was expecting them to be more scenic but I guess that's not how it goes when you're trying to crush a marathon. On the other hand, 90km in under 12 hours is insane! I reckon it takes a lot of dedication and mental toughness to even attempt something like that, let alone finish it in such a time frame

I'm telling you, there's more to Eddie Izzard's story than meets the eye... I mean, have you noticed how often comedians and public figures are involved in these crazy endurance challenges? It's like they're trying to distract us from something, but what? And this double marathon thingy, it sounds like a clever ploy to avoid paying taxes on all that income, if you ask me... I'm not saying she didn't deserve the medal or anything, but come on, 90km in 12 hours is just too convenient. There's gotta be more to it than meets the eye... Maybe they're secretly training for a top-secret mission or something? I mean, who knows what's really going on behind those comedic antics, right?

Omg I'm so impressed by Eddie Izzard's determination! I mean, who needs six miles when you can crush 90km in under 12 hours? That's some serious endurance right there! And to make it even more impressive is that she was part of a double marathon challenge, which is already crazy enough. But add an extra day spent in the hospital and it just gets even wilder .

I'm loving how she's owning her mistake about miscalculating distance and just went with it . I think that shows so much mental toughness and resilience. And can we talk about Northern Ireland for a second? Those hills are no joke, but still, who knew they'd be the tough part of the challenge .

All in all, I'm super stoked to see Eddie Izzard pushing herself to new limits and crushing it . More people should take note of her example and just go for it, even when things get tough .
