Impressive in any case, but having a pint of Guinness before taking off really elevates it in my eyes. Fair play.
Probably very bad emissions wise for the environment 😏
The map showing his route is gas, how it has to highlight where Ireland is in relation to Britain
>A British marathon champion has run the width of the island of Ireland in less than 24 hours, seemingly becoming the first person to accomplish the feat.
Well Caílte mac Rónáin could run all over Ireland in a matter of moments so this guy is hardly the first.
America has Florida man I think we should have Guinness-fueled man
Ireland? Where the fuck is that?
“I don’t be fond a runnin’, but when I do I go at it awful. Very hard.”
I wonder how long it will be before the begrudging begins with things like “Sure he only did the shortest stretch anyway”
Damn fine bit of running there.
That’s about a 6:43/km pace, for 211 km.
Imagine doing that run and going via Cloghan. Poor cratur. Glad to see he got out safely from the clutches of the hill people.
man walking the width of wales in 5 days was far more entertaining and he didnt need to use any guiness gimmicks
Jesus we’ve some mad distance runners in this country. A boy in Derry did ten Iron Mans in ten days this year. We seem to be becoming fitter as a country.
When you scratch the surface, the BBC are really not much different to the fucking Times or the Telegraph when it comes to this kind of bullshit headline. I’m surprised they didn’t toss in a casual reference to spuds in the middle of it.
I know it’s probably some muppet of a sub-editor, but Jesus lads. It’s impressive enough without resorting to the tired old “those Paddy’s love a drop of Guinness” trope.
That’s nothing, I once walked from coppers to bray in one night, gee eyed
