To the cheering of taxi drivers and the honking of horns, the comedian and actor Eddie Izzard ran into London yesterday to complete his 43rd marathon in 52 days. In total he had covered 1,100 miles. His 43 marathons were in aid of the charity Sports Relief, which raises money for the poor all over the world. So far Izzard has raised more than £200,000.  Fighting blisters that have caused the nails on his smaller toes to fall off, he ran up The Mall and into Trafalgar Square, where he had started 7.5 weeks ago. In finishing he proved what many thought was an impossible task: that a 47-year-old comedian with no sporting experience could do something a top athlete might find difficult.  After only six weeks' training he started out on a journey that would take him to every corner of the British Isles. "The first three weeks were the hardest," he said. The non-stop pressure on his body made him unable to sleep at night and he would wake exhausted with "blisters on top of blisters".  But the people he met along the way cheered him up. "People stopped their cars and cheered. They gave me money and food." More than 500,000 people "followed" the comedian, in a different sense, on Twitter. Running into London he looked lean and muscular. "Everyone says my legs look very good but I thought they looked quite good beforehand," he said.  Simon Blease, 51, a sports doctor and mountain runner who has been following his progress, was waiting on Tower Bridge. "I didn't think he could do it," he said. "Like a lot of people I thought he would have a good try, but his body would break down. Someone with so little training, I find it extraordinary that he has done it."  Asked what he had gained, Izzard said: "I know now I can do that. Sport is one of those words that stopped being part of my life when I was about 14. Sporting success was not something I ever associated myself with." He now plans to continue jogging and hopes to inspire others into sport.
