Man Runs Marathon, Then Runs 99 Miles Home

Sam Robson

Sam Robson is a little different. (Different... in a good way...) He ran in last Sunday's London Marathon and did pretty well! He ran the 26+ miles in 3 hours and 45 minutes. For most of us, it would takes days (weeks) to recover from this punishment, but not for Sam!

Right after the race, Sam ran all the way home, 99 miles, to St. Ives. This makes it a total of 125.2 miles of running for 28 year old Sam...in one day!

Why did he do it? Robson, who was diagnosed with epilepsy as a teenager, used his run to raise at least £3,246 ($5,315) for the UK Epilepsy Society.

Cool story.
