I can’t even be bothered to read it tbh. He’ll just be another twunt like that guy who set the ‘WR’ for back-to-back double Ironman (Steve Green iirc). That guy also involved in property schemes. Slippery shysters, the lot of them.
I think you’ll remember this bloke and his legit coaching team. He went on Rich House Poor House too didn’t he. Like you say…Narcissists.

To be fair it’s good to know as I’m re-attempting the record in Dec
Not yet.
He’s starting following me.
That’s fine.
I do stuff for charity all the time, but doing a GWR is different
But do you own 8 businesses?
I was interested to see a surge in records at this year’s London…and i wondered if this was a bit of a publicity stunt as some seemed relatively easy - 3:20 dressed as a hospital patient???
One anecdote from the last time i did London was that i was perplexed by my club mates ability to always know when I was coming as the cheer preceded my arrival. The answer was that I was always 5 minutes
behind Elvis 
At least that is a challenge…
Some of them are astonishingly hard… The greatest distance run on a treadmill in 12 hours is 147.3 km (91.527 mi) and was achieved by Matthew Eckford (Australia), in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, on 11 May 2018. Nearly 50% further than I managed…
This was one of the ones i started to look at after reading about it. Just a hospital gown with running kit under and whatever trainers you like. I must admit i’m midly intrigued by the idea (as long as it isn’t expensive) just for a bit of a laugh, and to give my kids the certificate or whatever you get.
do it soon…it’ll be 2:45 next month…
you have a race coming up @explorerJC ? 
Surely it should require you to be ready for surgery, just a gown, open at the back…
not for me…my next record attempt will be eating Jaffa cakes in a minute* or how long you can distract yourself from getting on with work…
(*i’m prepared to have multiple goes at this!)
Having watched some of the London coverage it does feel like some of these records should be rationalised, otherwise there’s pretty much an infinite list of different outfits.
All the outfits that don’t create any significant impediment to running should be amalgamated into a single fancy dress class with separate records only for those that do such as Funkster’s oufit/mask/tabis, wellies, high heels, giant rhinos, Big Ben etc.
…sedated
Even better, more airflow, easier portaloo access. Hospital underwear might chafe though.
If it is prepped for surgery style you’d have the bonus these days of some compression socks I guess
Just catching up with this. I hope this guy does not get ratified after @funkster did it properly.
I’m not keen on charity places at all, it’s not the system I’m against but the type of people it attracts (generally). Used to be, if you did something like this, it was a real challenge, maybe someone who was really stretching themselves (that used be more like the old ‘sponsor me me for every mile I do etc’.
Nowadays it’s ‘I want to go to the Great Wall of China’ fund my holiday to run a marathon there.
Then you have twats like Frank Cardia! Dodgy financial people indeed!
You’d be fasted though. So, swings and roundabouts.
The catheter may chafe a little 
no loo stops though…
