The first bloke to do the London marathon BF (in 2005) was planning to do a 960 mile run (here's one link I found here).
I found a few bits of info on other places like Facebook and it seems he picked up an injury but does anyone know if he continued, plans to continue, gave up etc.?
He must be pretty tough. A town with that many L's in it is probably in Wales, and Welsh winters are horribly wet and dreary, and bloody cold enough to make me and my feet want to stay inside.
