Here at GPHQ we’ve been eagerly watching Eddie Izzard: Marathon Man on BBC3 for the past couple of weeks, following the comic genius himself as he ran a whopping 43 marathons in just 51 days – running at least 27 miles a day, 6 days a week for 7 weeks straight and covering more than 1,160 miles across the UK in total – blimey! It’s enough to make you feel cream-crackered just by watching it to be honest.

You can catch the final episode of Eddie’s challenge on 9pm this Saturday 20th March on BBC3 – and hopefully that’ll inspire you enough to get running yourself the following day as on Sunday 21st March tens of thousands of people across the UK will be taking part in a Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile, raising money for Sport Relief 2010 – and you’ve still got time to join them! There are hundreds of locations across the UK – find your nearest one here.

If you’re taking part, we’d love to see some snaps of you and your pals on the run – just upload them to our Facebook wall.

Watch out for our snaps of the GettingPersonal team doing their bit for Sports Relief – all in the name of charity!!
