Now I've done some pretty crazy things in my time, including running 100 miles, crossing deserts and
jungles.
But nothing was as bad as the time I had to spend six hours at Her Majesty's pleasure in
Shepton Mallet prison.
However, today is not about me.
And as you can see, I come over to the good side.
Today is about James Dunn, who's also done some mental things in his time u TMB amongst them.
But now it would appear he has done something wrong, and today he'll be taking on the Green Mile.
I don't know what I've agreed to.
Yeah, mhm.
So when the running channel phoned me and said we'd like to do another race, I thought,
Great.
They're gonna send me something really exotic.
Really lovely.
Yeah.
And then they sent me here to shoot a man in prison to run a marathon inside this very
prison.
We were just talking about how we watch people lose that on these at the beginning.
There really, really up for it.
And then everyone goes quiet.
At what point do people come back to life?
Some come back to life.
Um, probably tend to go Jack in 10 laps to go.
They'll stop smiling again.
78 laps, 118 steps up and down
for less.
Why do you think people like doing these races?
I've got?
I've got an idea.
I think it's really good for your mental endurance.
Go around around around circles.
I'm not doing it.
I still think it's good to be, um we'll be able to give you some updates on where you're up
to, but don't ask me every lap because lots of currency where you're getting me to write
off.
But other than that, have fun.
Could I just say you look like a really cheap village People
video Just can't wait to get started now and see
what happens.
I'm terrified.
321.
And there you go.
Good luck.
Okay.
Alright.
Here we go.
Right.
Is that right?
Down 70 years ago
we are into the
exercise yard.
Oh, and now we're inside
first.
Wow of many.
Mhm.
Here we go.
Try not to fall down.
Today is not a good day to have size 12 ft.
So the stairs are all different lengths.
They are not all the same depth Is there the same depth They're easier to run down if they're different.
Because they're harder to run their which prevents riots.
After 50 laps, it becomes an iMac after 17.
It's borderline impossible.
Safe.
Just about to start that three.
I thought I'd take you with a full loop.
Sorry.
Official start.
Oh, God.
There's gonna be a lot more of her.
Terrifying me during the race.
I haven't told her.
I'm very easily scared.
I didn't want to give her any more ammunition.
I'm in a place where people spent years of their lives.
People died here.
Okay, It's very unsettling.
Mhm,
Wadley.
It is quite easy to forget.
That's where you're actually running in the monotony of these loops, right?
I've got very confused right back in there.
I've almost done 20 28 laps.
Isn't the most amount of that I've ever done in a marathon most of you have ever done
is 4684
which I did around around my sofa
in lockdown?
Yeah, and I kind of using the same mentality of this race.
Try and switch your brain off and just keep going and going.
Yeah,
yeah.
Uh, quarter, but
okay, Mhm.
Oh, don't get up.
What have you on?
I have no idea.
You've no idea.
No idea.
Why aren't people counting their laps?
I don't even know my own name.
If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't write.
I mean, it is quite hard.
I'm gonna be honest.
And you've got no idea when you're gonna finish.
Nobody was going to finish.
Definitely feeling the exhaustion, going up the stairs, having to use my arms to kind of
pull me up.
But I am thoroughly enjoying seeing more
fantastic outfit.
As we get written, there are some absolutely incredible Mhm.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, there is an absolutely incredible
costume.
Yeah.
Mhm.
Yeah,
Yeah.
Mhm.
Hey, topped it.
Don't buy your outfit on Amazon.
Just where did you get a little taste like this?
Look at him.
He looks like he's on a murder.
But I tell you what has done a murder.
Very, very flammable nylon and the nipples out.
Ouch.
Mm.
James wanted to rest.
He wanted to lay down, isn't it?
He wanted to rest.
Get this out.
Yeah.
Mhm.
Okay.
He's going to stay in, uh, for one lap.
Wouldn't it be funny if and check on him or look, there's a guy dressed as a Roy.
No, thank you.
I know that's the sort of thing you might think you see in prison.
But actually, we have seen that.
Here's George.
Michael.
I think he's losing your sense of humour.
Right? Every coverage, you can come out.
You're going to come out now.
Go on and off you go.
Come on.
Come on, Come on, Come on.
Hey, James is just run past me.
Everyone and I just said to him, Hey, man, how are you feeling?
And what did you say?
What did you say?
Really bad.
I want to sit down.
Hey, man, I'm not feeling too bad.
Okay, So this is what's gonna happen now.
This is the next thing is going to wear for me, running down here
in this makes me feel better.
Unsettled?
Yeah.
This is very easy to imagine people running down here wearing one
of these during the riot.
Yeah, it's quite It's all fun and games this race.
I love it.
And it's very silly, actually.
Remembering this, you know, people were locked up
in these rooms.
It's difficult.
It's a kind of have fun without that kind of twinge of mhm.
Yeah.
Mhm.
Some business, I guess.
Just listening to that noise.
It's so creepy.
People just running down the corridors here in the
police officers just walking down with tonight.
It would be very creepy.
Sorry, we have grass.
Uh, my brain is absolutely much.
We've done 60
mhm, 65 laps, 66 laps.
Wow.
This is definitely taking on my mental capacity.
James is about to come through now, and he's got five laps left and he actually wants to wear
this helmet, which is ironic because he is a helmet
three to go
about 20 minutes before the cuts off.
There's still a lot of people out.
So in the Babylonian batshit Jamaica, I think it's about
four, five minutes.
A look at the moment.
He's got two laps to go, and he just seems to be getting chirpy.
Chirpy.
Uh, I'm pretty sure it's a ultra runner thing.
I think the longer ultra runners run, the more fun they have.
Just dead mentally.
Uh huh.
Mm.
Prison was not right for me.
I mean, I wouldn't last two seconds is like that in this race.
It's not breaking me What about
last night?
James?
This is it.
Here he comes.
He's coming.
Yeah.
Okay.
What?
Absolutely, What?
Absolutely.
You know, Is that with you for today?
Oh, man.
How do you feel after that?
Like I am never doing a crime ever never doing it.
That's good.
How long is it taking?
Six hours, 25 minutes.
Five minutes for the cut off his personal best.
Is it anything that doesn't less than this?
Well, who waiting for this?
Oh, bless him.
Want to swear all the swear words?
Right now, you do not swear on the way around.
It was a good boy.
You're very, very proud of.
It's really horrible and hard sweating.
Oh, next up, we're trying to find something even
worse than maybe there's one, I think, in a multi storey car park.
I think there's one here in Southend Pier just a mile out.
My back, My back to the shape of you.
If you like it, we can find some more today.
I think you guys should put in the comments section the worst race you can think of for
you to do.
Please do do that.
Okay?
