Читать книгу Running Crazy - Imagine Running a Marathon. Now Imagine Running Over 100 of Them. Incredible True Stories from the World's Most Fanatical Runners - Helen Summer - Страница 9

Before we get to the really interesting bit – the people themselves – let’s start at the beginning. How exactly did a club for people who had run over 100 marathons begin?

I was lucky enough to be put in touch with one of the Club’s founder members, David Phillips, a man who, by the time this book goes to print, will have run over 400 marathons in 25 years and raised over £50,000 for charity in the process.

I feel humbled. At least I did until he presented me with a car boot full of memorabilia.

I was further aided and abetted in the writing of this chapter by Saint Roger Biggs, current chairman of the 100 Club and patron saint of patience, and Steve Edwards, one of the youngest original members.
