Is this man human?

[585 = never give up]

After a working life playing professional rugby league, with his body taking all the resulting punishment, former Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield ran 7 marathons in 7 days, to raise money for the MND charity (see previous posts) and for his friend Rob Burrows, which is a magnificent achievement in itself.
As if that wasn't punishment enough, this crazy man is now .....
Kevin has acknowledged his attempt to run 101 miles in 24 hours will be "horrible" (www.justgiving.com)
Kevin is super human, has the heart of a lion, mental strength beyond most sportsmen and is totally selfless.
On Monday, I have no doubt that he will do this - good luck to him and his support team.

top top bloke and a travesty he was not Knighted after his last endeavors.

A magnificent achievement. Jordan Wiley ran 15 Marathons in 15 days in 15 National Parks of the UK, making Kevin less than half a man

Comedian Eddie Izzard did 32 marathons and 31 shows in 31 days

Never knew that, top lad

He had a book published about his running exploits 'Marathon man' not a bad read
Did 40+ marathons in 51 days at one time. Also ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa 2016 raising over £1.3 million for charity

Think he will get some sort of award soon.

He's a northerner playing a northern sport. Of course he's not going to be knighted.

Was he wearing trainers or his stilettoes?

What do you think, numbnuts.

He's not concerned with "gongs" just the wellbeing of a true friend and his community.

Kevin Sinfield is a really genuine down to earth fellah. He went to the same local school as both my lads and my older lad who coaches tennis in the States coached his lads at tennis for a while. His older lad is highly rated in rugby league and I think he recently signed his first pro contract for Leeds.
