The man who ran 401 marathons in 401 days

A marathon runner who completed 401 marathons in 401 days has described how he was β€œoverwhelmed” and β€œin shock” after crossing the finish line.

Ben Smith from Bristol ran over 10,500 miles over the 401 days, which is equivalent to the distance of London to Sydney. He completed the first marathon in September 2015 and has raised Β£250,000 for anti-bullying charities in the process.

β€œWhen I crossed the line I was in complete shock, it was overwhelming,” he told 5 live Drive.

β€œNobody’s ever done this in the world before.”
