No, he’s mid forties now and the costume is quite heavy and unyielding. He will keep running long distances, to raise money for the Make a Wish foundation, but in normal kit.

Sad News! Jez was booked by BBC Breakfast Live to finish his 1,000 mile run on TV at 8.30 tomorrow morning at Elstree Studios London. But of course that are now in Tier 4 and have closed down. So he will finish his run alone.

Nothing can be done of course - yet one more casualty of 2020 - What a year!

Such a shame, but maybe someone can video the final seconds of his run and send it in for them to show on a broadcast.

Clap See, I knew there would be a way for them to get it out there. It's the sort of story they like to show some of the time.
