A man named Joseph Tame is running the Tokyo marathon with four iPhones, an iPad, two different Android handsets and a weatherstation attached to his body.

Tame was running with these devices because he was streaming the video live to viewers all around the world, along with weather conditions, GPS locations and a heart rate for every step that he took. But he isn’t just running the marathon for the fun of it, he’s actually running for a foundation called the “Tyler Foundation” that supports children from Japan who have Cancer.

Joseph streamed the action live from tmc2011.com’s website, and he reported in both English and Japanese languages.  And according to a report from PadGadget, Tame was actually twittering from his phones while he was on the run! Wow.. as if running a marathon wasn’t hard enough already, try doing it with several extra pounds of accessories attached to your body.
