Check this out ... this bloke ran 100kms from Lords to his cricket club's ground to break the Gunness Book of Records mark for the longest run up to bowl a ball in a cricket match ... and then only completed two overs! Must have a Reading/Nosworthy groin?
Regardless, raised money for a good cause in the process.

A random question for followers of this page … who are the legends of sport where you live? People who have put in for years, tireless workers who play and love their sport with such passion that they are always working to keep it going, build it up?
Any sport, anywhere outside the big cities. Local heroes. Happy to take suggestions in comments or via Messenger or email to Lango on [email protected]
Asking for a friend who is looking to give them recognition.
