The Rory Coleman Underround Review – CustardFail ,UltraBusking ,6 Marathons in 6 Days or how to be in a Wham! Video

Lee-Stuart Evans runs the Rory Coleman London Underround Marathon at Bayswater Tube  Its a wet rainy Saturday in February , its 3pm in the afternoon and the rain has driven the throng of  tourists into the tube stations in London rather than walk and get wet, I’m in a huge standstill queue of people looking to get in to Covent Garden Tube Station, dressed in running gear , smelling like a dead badger with a 6kg pack and I’m so confused I think this is Piccadilly Station.

The Centurion Autumn 100 Review

my 24 hr and 28hr race timings for the Centurion Autumn 100 Imagine if you will a scene of total running indignity ………. It was 9am on a beautiful October Sunday morning . I was shuffling in agony along the Thames path in Reading getting some very strange looks from the people enjoying a stroll.  I was dressed like a runner, with walking poles like an arctic explorer and a 285 race number on my leg….and I was covered in porridge.  I also smelt really bad. I had porridge in my beard, on my legs , on my shoes , … Continue reading The Centurion Autumn 100 Review
