#TBT To when I thought it would be a good idea to complete a full #marathon wearing a 30kg Bomb Disposal Suit.
Well my body has finally recovered! And I did achieve it. Twice.
And raised over £3,500 for charity. #WorthIt #BombSuitMarathon #FelixFund #TicketsForTroops #SoWhatsNext

My efforts last weekend were considered one of the MODs big news stories of the week!
Well done to all those serving who took part, and huge thank you to those who gave up their time to volunteer.

@ArmySgtMajor you will probably finish before me tomorrow, does that mean I will have to do guard commander in the EOD bomb disposal suit too?

Have you seen The Hurt Locker or BBC's The Bodyguard? Well that is exactly what it's like to be a Bomb Disposal Operator!
But Jeremy Renner or Richard Madden would never wear a bomb suit AND complete @LondonMarathon.
But this guy is 😁

Spot-on pace.
Feeling good after.
Half-marathon in under 3hrs.
Just do the same again (but twice!) in 6 weeks time and I could break the World Record!
