Eddie Izzard: 'I refuse to do jogging, I do loping'
Comedian Eddie Izzard has completed his challenge in South Africa to run 27 marathons in 27 days for Sport Relief.
The 54-year-old needed to run a double marathon on Sunday to complete his challenge beneath a statue of Nelson Mandela, in Pretoria.
Mr Izzard talks about how he adapted the African indigenous style of running and how he plans on doing a marathon every two weeks.
"I refuses to do jogging, I do loping," he said "I need to be doing a marathon every two weeks".
