Finally finished Big Walk and it honestly feels like one of those times where you want to hand in your keyboard and never try to make a game again because you’ll never make something as good as that! What an inspiration.

In one week I will be attempting to answer the question - can I run a marathon and have fun?? As I run from Croydon to Windsor to retrace the iconic run Super Hans once accidentally undertook in season seven of Peep Show...!

The main problem is it's like... actually a race. On a track. So I can't just sort of quietly slow down if I do go out too fast and can't sustain it... instead I'll just get lapped. 😬
