“Izzard just finished an epic 1,100 mile run across Britain this past week in a bid to raise money for the U.K. charity Sport Relief. Somehow channeling Forrest Gump he ran up to 27 miles a day – uhm, a marathon is only 26.2 miles. He didn’t do it alone though, he was followed by a BBC film crew, his manager, a sports therapist and an ice cream truck that randomly played the theme from “Chariots of Fire” to keep him motivated.”
