Pain of the long distance runner

Steve Hunt said running 60 half marathons in 30 days has made getting around a real slog for him in the last few days.

Mr Hunt, 44, who is nearing the half-way stage in his challege, is raising money for Cancer Research UK But he said constant pounding pain in his knees and ankles is beginning to set in.

He said: "I still have my blisters, but they don't hurt as much as my legs do now.

"I am starting to suffer lack of energy on this, my 14th day or running.

"But I am still going and tomorrow I will be half way through the task, so I am really looking forward to that."
