Luke Wilkinson, from Sheffield, runs 874 miles from John o' Groats to Lands End in just 16 days.
A carer has run the length of the UK from John o' Groats to Lands End to raise funds for charity after being inspired by health challenges faced by his parents.
He said: “I wanted to do something difficult to test myself, to see what I was - and wasn’t - capable of. It turns out I was capable, but only just.” The gruelling John o' Groats to Lands End challenge meant Mr Wilkinson ran almost 50 miles a day, starting very early in the morning and finishing late at night.Members of the team were tasked with driving the camper van and making sure Mr Wilkinson was on schedule each morning, as well as ensuring he consumed enough calories and fluids.
"There were some beautiful bits of the UK to look at, but I couldn't appreciate it because I often had my head down or I was too busy dodging cars," he said.
