A committed and self-confessed "crazy" runner has clocked up a gruelling 100km – in his garden – to honour and support a children's cancer charity. Paul Eichert, 49, began at 06:00 on Sunday, and logged an astonishing 714 laps around his garden in his charitable "home marathon" in Somerset West. "As he's got older, he's got faster, more determined and crazier," said his wife and garden-side support crew member, Mel. She told News24: "Obviously, he can't run on the road during lockdown, so he started doing 5km runs. Paul walked into his garden at 06:00 on Sunday, headed south towards the carport, and then west around to the pool.
