I am a fan of Eddie Izzard, in part because he is an athlete. In 2009, at age 47, he accomplished something that I find almost unimaginable To help raise money for charity, he ran the equivalent of 43 marathons in 51 days around the United Kingdom. That's one marathon a day, six days a week, for eight weeks. A marathon is 26.2 miles, so he ran 1126 miles (or thereabouts). All with little training or experience. Since then, he has taken on a similar event. This bit of video is from a documentary filmed to capture his achievement.
Which leads me to wonder what other Broadway people might be known for their athleticism?
