BBC covered Nigel a few days ago as well:

> Nigel Beecroft, from Harborne, spent nearly two years running along every street in the city, covering 2,500 miles in the process.

That’s one serious achievement. From what I’ve heard from some other CityStriders who have done Brum they say it’s not just the distance but some of the streets are slightly less, err, friendly, than others! Brum is pretty close to me but I am absolutely putting off even starting that one.

Nice one Nigel!! Hope you read these comments and maybe see you around Wychavon if you fancy doing that one next? 😀
