He ran 26.2 miles on his 23ft balcony in six hours and 48 minutes in what he said was a physical and mental challenge. He suffered nausea during his run, and was worried his neighbours would complain about the constant pounding of his footsteps. The French authorities are still allowing people to go outside for "individual sports" like running, if they sign a special form explaining why.
