Adam Holland trains by delivering papers

Devon man trains for endurance challenge by delivering papers

A Devon man has won 10 marathons in 10 days. And it's a feat he's now completed 10 times too.

Superfit Adam Holland from Dunsford now holds the title of youngest person to have run 100 marathons.

Alongside Mo Farah, Mr Holland is an ambassador for the charity Kids Run Free which works to get children running.

 

Mr Holland trains by delivering the Property Press newspaper in Exeter and Exmouth, but his running goes back a long way. He began at primary school and says he "eventually made my way from the back to the front." He completed his first marathon at the age of 18. He's now in contention to become  "influencer of the year"  in the awards of a UK running magazine. 

 

He delivers copies of the Property Press in Exeter and Exmouth as part of his training regime.
