He said he had once run 600 miles between Edinburgh and London in six days, a feat that would place him among the world’s leading ultra-marathon runners, and claimed to have raised more than £5 million for charity over the years, at times putting the figure as high as £5.5 million.

Translation by Augustus Taber Murray (1866–1940) Professor of Greek at Stanford University and George Edward Dimock (1917–2000), Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at Smith College.
