Episode III: Could you run a Marathon in a 6 meter backyard? James Campbell did.

Your Hosts Josh and David take a step away from demoralizing each
other in the Banter Bowl and focus on the good in the world.
James Campbell, a fellow Scottish man and Scottish record holder
(in the Javelin) ran an entire marathon in his back garden while
raising 29,000pounds in the process. it all started with a single
tweet and ended with a trend on twitter, professional athlete
support and professional sports commentators backing the live
event. 


James donated all the money raised to the NHS (National Health
Service). You can still donate on the JustGiving page by
searching "James Campbell". This was a spontaneous decision at
4.45pm on march 30th and on April 1st it became an internet
sensation. 


Sit & Kick has the exclusive look at how it all transpired to
bring millions of people behind one man in his garden. Listen to
hear why he did it. How he did it and what he will do next. 


Lets look at some numbers:


His back garden marathon was on his 32nd birthday


6,593 (roughly) circuits of his back garden


6.4metre garden course. (pretty easy course map to
memorize) 


29,000 pounds donated in his efforts. Many more Backyard
Marathoners have emerged and added their own donation links.
