🏃 The Man Who Ran a Marathon Every Day

In this A1-level Reading Challenge, students read the true story of Eddie Izzard's incredible 2009 challenge — running a marathon every day for 27 days around the United Kingdom to raise money for Sport Relief. Written in very short sentences with simple vocabulary, the article covers Eddie's five-week preparation from non-runner to marathon runner, the daily pain of blisters and swollen knees, the moment Eddie nearly quit on day five, the crowds who came to cheer, and the over one million pounds raised for charity.
