Joel Dommett floored supporters on Saturday after revealing his exhausting schedule ahead of the London Marathon. 

The comedian, 39, is one of thousands of runners taking on the iconic 26 mile trek around the capital and his journey to the finish line actually began yesterday afternoon when he set off from his house in South West London. 

He proceeded to travel to Leeds for a comedy show before driving two and a half hours to Cambridge for the night. 

Joel had a brief six and a half hours sleep – with the ᴀssumption that he slept straight away on arriving in Cambridge – before getting up again at half 6 on Sunday and leaving his H๏τel at 6:45 to travel to Greenwich roundabout. 

His schedule, written out precisely on a white board and shared on Instagram, doesn’t end there as he then undertook a half an hour warmup run as he made his way to the starting line ahead of the marathon. 

Joel hopes to complete the marathon in under three hours, no mean feat, before meeting his wife Hannah Cooper and baby son Wilde at the finish line.

He explained he needed to stick to his three hour time in order for Wilde to be able to get an afternoon nap in the car ride home.

Once home, if all goes to plan, Joel then has an ice bath and a meal scheduled before being picked up at 4:45pm to head to filming.

Joel captioned the eye-popping post: ‘Swipe for some terrible planning and excellent carb loading.’

The schedule was one of several pictures relating to the event, including a snap of Joel’s running gear, which revealed that he is completing the marathon in aid of Brain Tumour Support. 

Fans and celebrity friends were quick to flood the post with supportive comments.  

Brain Tumour Support wrote: ‘That is one bonkers schedule Joel, thank you so much for your support in wearing our best with pride as you take on your challenge.

‘We are all cheering you on and will be tracking you from afar.’ 

A fan wrote: ‘For a person who has had major surgery this year to remove parts of her brain tumour thank you Joel behind you all the way!’ 

Referencing Joel’s aim of completing the marathon in under three hours, Ben Sheppard added: ‘Go smash the hell out of it Joel. Sub 3 Baby!!!!’

She joked: ‘Lol i’m saving this for when i start complaining at mile 14.’

This is not Joel’s first London Marathon and he actually took on the challenge last year while dressed as a piranha. 

He told TCS London Marathon: ‘It was definitely the hardest marathon I’ve done.

‘Really had to dig deep. Lots of shouting to myself. 

‘It probably weighs, I reckon, probably about 8kg, something like that.

‘The hard thing was it [the costume] was just banging against my head the entire time.’

Joel took to Instagram ahead of this year’s race to admit that he’s glad he will not be weighed down by a costume again.
