He is going to suffer, methinks.

335 miles in two days to be done on 16th March and so far he's only just
done a 50-miler...

He should have a good base level fitness, and mental toughness, but I think
he's going to be suffering. Chapeau to him when he completes it and I hope
he does.

That's what I was thinking, it's totally different doing a few 50 milers to
go to 335 miles in one jump. If the current wind is anything to go by, it
will be doubly difficult into a SW gale (that's without any rain) and Mr
Chiles reckons he's going to draught behind Shearer most of the way.

More impressive is James Cracknell who is doing 1400 miles in 5 days.
