He is defo planning on doing public speaking after all this.
I think he is a terrible speaker but he will speak to the Andrew Tateesque of the world.
Nothing more cringe than getting a welcome of a public schoolboys chanting that. He doesn’t seem to have much organic audience. It’s not authentic.
Day 8 now and the cars/personnel/gifted stays is probably in the region of £20-30k easily
The cost of the two vehicles, they’ll be drinking fuel. That will probably be hundreds at least a week
The people, the agents, drivers, physios, video and photo will all be paid. That’s probably at least £1k a day.
Plus hotel and food for all of them, at least another £1k a day.
But yeah it’s all for raising awareness not his own profile.
And as for their running, he is on strava. So I do believe they are doing the distances but they are at walking pace a lot.
He’s not injured, he ruptured his Achilles when he was doing back to back ultras and we never heard about it again. It’s just a excuse for going slow

He’s backed himself into a corner as well.
If he is injured and can’t run, he’s kind of backed himself into a corner too

If I can’t run, I’ll walk walk, if not I’ll crawl.
You are weak if you don’t finish, that’s the message he normally leads with
They were supposed to start at 9am and still nothing
