Hide AdDoug said: “I’ve ran a few marathons and wanted to push myself to see if I could go further, but I never dreamed I’d do so well.
“I met some amazing people running and managed to chat with them along the way, but most importantly this run has enabled me to highlight the work of the lovely charity Miracle’s Mission.”
Despite completing this tough challenge so recently, Doug is continuing his training for the next part of his healthy journey.
He added: “My next challenge is to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks and I’ll be tackling that this summer.”
