Men complete six 'brutal' ultramarathons in six days
Simon Pilkington, from Bristol, covered about 180 miles (289.6km) along with Rob Dowling, from West Sussex.
The men were raising money for the Oliver's Wish Foundation, set up after Mr Dowling's two-year-old son died in 2015 from Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).
Mr Pilkington said the challenge had been "amazing, yet incredibly and brutally tough".
The men started with the London Marathon on 27 April - and spent the next five days running about 30 miles (48km) per day during a heatwave.
"The added heat was just something else. It absolutely sapped every part of our energy," said Mr Pilkington.

With the support of friends - who joined them during certain points of the route - the pair managed to raise more than £51,000 for Oliver's Wish, which helps charities supporting babies, children and young people.
Mr Pilkington said he spent six months training for the challenge, building his aerobic fitness through boxing and long distance running.
His training regime included waking up at 05:00 in the middle of winter to go running and taking ice baths for recovery.
He said building this discipline helped him to stay focused during the challenge.
Initially, Mr Dowling had only signed up for The London Marathon, but later decided to join Mr Pilkington - who he met at a previous fundraising event - for the full challenge.
After completing the London Marathon the pair collected their medals and continued running for another five miles (8km) up to Paddington.
They spent the next five days running 30miles (48km) each day, following the canal paths back home to Bristol.
Mr Pilkington said the biggest struggle was to wake up each day and resume running again, but that motivation came from seeing the donations coming in.
"One day we saw another grand come in, another day another five grand, until we got to £51,000," he said.
A crowd of family, friends and neighbours greeted them when they finally arrived in Westbury-on-Trym at about 18:30 BST on Friday.
"It was an amazing reception coming into Westbury," said Mr Pilkington.
"There was 40 children and their parents up on The Downs giving us a guard of honour.
"I'm proud of us as a group for managing to do it."
The money raised through the challenge will allow Oliver's Wish to help fund charity research into the cause of sudden unexplained death in children.
The funds will be donated to SUDC UK, Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice and the The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
"The charities we support desperately need the funds," said Mr Dowling.
"We know that the money is going to be put specifically to medical research, which we hope will one day make this awful mystery of a diagnosis a thing of the past."

How to start running when you're over 40
I'm not sure why I finally decided to give running a try. I think it was a stealth move by my husband. He has been a runner since his schooldays and even ran the London Marathon 15 years ago, but I'd never been tempted to join him because it was 'his' thing. 'My' thing, I have always said, is dance. Cue a slightly condescending voice: 'Dancing is so much more creative and just as good for you in terms of fitness.' But the truth is I'm now in my mid-50s, and dance has fallen by the wayside because I couldn't find local classes that suit me. My weight has crept up over the past couple of years, probably because I'm in the throes of menopause, and I needed to make a change. It just so happened that my husband's physio (he currently has a calf injury) suggested he strengthen it slowly using the popular NHS Couch to 5K app and, for some reason, I decided to join him. And, suddenly, I'm a runner. A Sport England survey published in April 2023 shows there are 1.3 million more active people aged 55-74 than there were in 2015-16. As of last year, 6 million people in England run regularly, ranking it as the most popular sport, and there have been a record 578,374 applicants for the 2024 London Marathon, compared to the previous record of 457,861 in 2019. Community events are also more popular than ever, with Parkrun, which began in 2004, holding more than 1,000 events every weekend across the UK. The average Parkrun time has increased from 22 minutes and 17 seconds in 2005 to 32 minutes and 34 seconds in 2023 as a more diverse range of abilities take part, proving just how inclusive such events have become. Running is no longer the preserve of 'proper' athletes, it's for everyone. So, five weeks ago, I stepped out of my front door on day one of Couch to 5K. As expected, after running for a grand total of three minutes, I thought I was going to expire on the streets of north London. But now, as if by magic, I'm able to run for a quarter of an hour without stopping! I still don't have the proper kit, much to my husband's annoyance. He wears the full Nike gear, running tights and sweat-wicking tops, while I wear ancient trackie bottoms, topped off with a 25-year-old Illustrated People sweatshirt, but I don't care. Project manager Emma Snead started running at the age of 45 during lockdown. She says, 'I live in rural southwest France and was around a size 20 when I started running. You don't often see many people of that size exercising – especially in France – and I tried not to care, but I did notice people staring. After three weeks of following the Couch to 5K app, I knew I was progressing. I felt better about how I looked and I stopped caring what people thought.' Three years on, she's still at it. 'I run for half an hour every day. Even if it sucks and you're hating it, it's such a short time before you can be back on the sofa that it's not a great hardship. It becomes a bit of me-time, away from work, being a mum, the house. Instead of sitting on the sofa, eating and scrolling through stuff on my phone, I'm by the river, seeing herons and squirrels, listening to science podcasts or the radio or a Nineties R&B playlist I've not listened to in years.' The benefits of running after 40 It seems that the positives of running are myriad: the NHS lists improved heart and lung health, increased joint strength and flexibility, and a reduction in the risk of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. It is also thought to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Dr Jennifer Wilson is a senior exercise and health practitioner at Nottingham Trent University and a trustee of FiiT for Life, a charity that provides exercise training. She says: 'For people returning to or starting exercise, running is a great way to improve health and mental wellbeing. This is particularly true if it is practised outdoors – the benefits of green exercise are well documented.' Running is also recommended for women going through the menopause. Doctor and women's wellness expert Dr Shirin Lakhani says running is an excellent way to keep some of the symptoms under control. 'According to a number of studies, the average weight gain for a woman during and after menopause is around 4.5lb,' she says. 'Struggling with excess stomach fat and sudden weight gain is a very common symptom, and running is an effective way to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight. This is essential for managing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis risk. Weight-bearing exercises like running also stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, reducing the risk of fractures.' Jemma Arbon, 42, is a running coach at Mansfield Harriers athletics club. She started running for the first time in her mid-30s, and within a year she underwent training so she could start a beginners' running group. She has gone on to form groups for all ages, and found there was keen interest among older women. 'It's my mission to encourage women, in particular, to be engaged in sport and fitness,' she says. One of her members, Pauline Beard, started running at the age of 67 in a group of runners in their 60s and 70s. 'It really has changed my life. I've met so many lovely people. Being outside and enjoying nature is so good for physical and mental wellbeing,' she says. From my own experience, I can report that a quick half-hour burst of outdoor exercise first thing in the morning has made a huge difference. I feel 'switched on' when I sit at my desk – somehow sharper. And even on days when I really don't want to go, I'm always glad that I did. The downsides Without wanting to put anyone off getting some fresh air and building up their fitness, there are certain things you should watch out for. Dr Jennifer Wilson explains: 'Running can carry with it a high risk of injury because, generally, we take thousands of steps per run. And if that is coupled with a particularly inefficient running technique, it can lead to injury.' A training plan will help prevent injuries, as will the correct running shoes for your terrain (see more on both below). Brushing up on safety is essential, especially for women. Finding a running buddy is a good idea, make sure your phone is fully charged, and always inform others of the route you're taking and your estimated return time. A good way to do this can be through a running app, such as Strava, which shares your route in real time with chosen contacts. One other thing to watch out for is the so-called 'runner's face', when the skin premature ages and can look gaunt and leathery. This only occurs in seriously committed long-distance runners and can result from sun damage and weight loss. To prevent this, always wear a minimum SPF of 30, even during the winter. Running shoes and kit Once you've made the decision to run, it's worth investing in the proper gear to make your life easier (and, in some cases, safer). Get the right pair of running shoes Ideally, you should have your gait analysed at a specialist running shop before purchasing your trainers, which is usually a free service. The analysis will check how your foot strikes the floor and suggest the perfect running shoes to maximise comfort and efficiency. If you can't visit a shop, some retailers such as Runandbecome have an online service. If all else fails, brands such as Hoka or Asics have products that are recommended by podiatrists. According to Run and Become, you may need a size up from your usual footwear as running trainers are made slightly smaller than everyday shoes, and there should be half a thumb's width between the longest toe and the front of your shoe. Be seen When you're running in the dark or the dusk, make sure you're wearing as much reflective gear as possible to be visible to drivers. There is a wide range of appropriate kit available, from running jackets to gloves. Nike Dri-FIT, Under Armour and Proviz all have exceptional products. Choose a supportive sports bra Adidas, Sweaty Betty and Shock Absorber produce some of the best. For a bigger bust, particularly, a wide underband and straps are vital to keep running 'bounce'' to a minimum. Make sure you can see where you're going For anyone running in low light – dusk, early morning, winter evenings – a head torch is a must. It should be easy to turn on and off, rechargeable and, of course, comfortable. Biolite and Ledlenser are both well-respected brands. Keep an eye on your stats Wearing a running watch is a great way to track your progress. A smart watch will measure pace, heart rate, distance and recovery time, as well as fitness levels. Using an app on your phone will work too, but is less accurate (and harder to use) than glancing at your watch while you run. Listen to your body Dr Jessica Leitch, founder of Run3D, which provides musculoskeletal and gait analysis to injured runners, says it's vital to factor in recovery time. 'When you take up running, you're putting a lot of load onto the system,' she says. 'You are going to take about 1,500 steps to complete a mile, and this causes a small amount of damage to your musculoskeletal system during each run, which we call microdamage. Normally, if you give your body time to adapt and recover, it will strengthen over time.' This becomes ever more important as we age, says Leitch. 'As you get older, the key thing to understand is that your body needs more time to recover compared to when you were younger. Listen to your body – it will tell you. 'OK, this is hurting a little bit too much for comfort. I will take an extra day to recover.' If you don't rest, the microdamage that's being put onto the limbs with every step accumulates and weakens the tissues and then you become more at risk of injuries.'

England deliver for Sarina Wiegman in iconic moment at Lionesses Euro 2025 victory parade
A month of last-minute equalisers, penalty shootout victories and a third consecutive European Championship title has given Sarina Wiegman plenty to celebrate, but through it all she has never looked so happy as when Burna Boy was revealed at the trophy parade. Having revealed the singer-songwriter was her favourite artist in a press conference, England delivered for Wiegman just as she had done for them out in Switzerland. The singing and dancing version of the Dutch manager proved unrecognisable from the cooler exterior of past tournaments, but then in her renewed outlook she had plenty to enjoy. 'What I really wanted to do over all these years is try to enjoy it a little bit more,' she had said. 'Trying to enjoy things a little bit more instead of always being so… you have to be focused in this job but you need to celebrate the moments that are good, it's really nice.' As the Lionesses open-top bus paraded down the mall to the cheers of 65,000 fans, this was certainly one of those moments. Just three years ago, when women's football seemed to have captivated the whole nation, there were 7,000 fans who turned up to celebrate their inaugural major trophy at Trafalgar Square. That number has increased nearly tenfold in the intervening years, though it should be noted there was a cap on capacity in 2022. It is testament to the impact that the Lionesses had in continuing to inspire a nation that they could fill nearly three-quarters of Wembley Stadium with fans who took time away from work to celebrate their achievements. And there could not have been a more fitting location. The finish of the London Marathon has been the end of a mammoth journey for millions, and in a similar fashion - beleaguered from their efforts and ready for a well-earned rest - the Lionesses travelled towards the Palace. While their heads might not be embossed on coins yet, over the past month they have become Queens of the nation for their embodiment of the most palatable interpretation of Englishness yet. An unerring resilience and grit had got them to the final in Basel, and as they travelled up to the Victoria Memorial to the cheers of thousands they could finally stop and enjoy the moment. Fittingly serenaded by a performance of 'Proud' by Heather Small, a teary-eyed Leah Williamson issued a rallying cry to those before her. '2022 was a fairytale but this felt very hard earned and we're very proud of ourselves. This story is not done yet,' she uttered to further cheers. While it is another chapter complete, Williamson's statement will act as further warning to any future opponent if they had not already learned that the Lionesses are never done. But off the pitch, too, the ramifications of her declaration extend much further. Having called for equal access to football in PE for girls after the Euro 2022 triumph, the Lionesses have proven their actions are never just restricted to personal success. For the women who enjoyed their moment in the spotlight on Tuesday, their moments on the pitch will always mean so much more than just another trophy. This summer they have once again shown just what is possible for young girls aspiring to reach their levels. As Williamson referenced the fact the trophy they raised in front of the 65,000 at Buckingham Palace did not even exist just over 40 years ago, it is abundantly clear that these role models are all too conscious of that fact. But as they danced onstage to the anthems of their tournament, they could be afforded the peace to just indulge in what has been a remarkable summer of football and another historic achievement. As Wiegman and Burna Boy said arm-in-arm: 'It's been a hell of a ride.'

Alex Yee ‘energised' by London Marathon experience before triathlon return
Alex Yee is ready to throw himself back into triathlon – and hopes his London Marathon experience will make him a better athlete. The Olympic and world champion took time out of his main sport in the spring to fulfil a lifelong ambition by racing around the streets of the capital, and his time of two hours, 11 minutes and eight seconds made him the second fastest British runner. The effort he put into the project left him with peroneal tendinopathy, which causes pain and inflammation of tendons in the foot and ankle, in three places but he is now fully recovered and ready to dip his toe back into triathlon at Saturday's Supertri League race in Toronto. Yee told the PA news agency: 'I feel energised, I feel in a really good place. 'I don't think that necessarily means I'm going to come back in and smash the scene up and be at the front, I'm well aware of that, but I think I've just come back with a really good frame of mind about the sport and about where I want to be and how I want to go about it and improve.' Supertri races feature three fast-paced stages in a team environment, providing Yee with a fun reintroduction to the sport before the more serious business of a first World Triathlon Championship Series race of the year on the French Riviera at the end of August. The injury was a small setback but Yee has no regrets about testing himself in a different sport, and believes it can help take his triathlon racing to a new level. 'There were things which I could probably get away with in triathlon that I couldn't get away with in a marathon, which I can now apply to triathlon and hopefully that will make me a better athlete as a result,' he said. 'It was really interesting to take that small step back. You get so used to training in a certain way so, when you take yourself out of a comfort zone and train a little bit differently and you're a little bit worse at it, it's an exciting thing for me.' Whatever the 27-year-old goes on to achieve, it will be hard for him to top the drama of his Olympic gold last summer, when his hopes appeared over only for him to sensationally reel in rival Hayden Wilde over the final few hundred metres. Yee's victory was one of the standout moments of the Games, and it is one he is continually reminded about. 'One moment that really sticks with me is a guy stopped me in Lewisham when I was running for a warm-up to run on – pretty surreal – the track that's now renamed after me,' said Yee. 'He was deleting a load of stuff off his phone to make memory to take a picture and just before he left me he said, 'I really appreciate everything you're doing for Lewisham, watching you was the last memory I have of my dad'. 'It really hit home that that can be such an important moment for somebody in their life. 'I feel like every time I speak to somebody or they stop me on the street, it's such an authentic moment that they're able to talk to me about, a moment of hope or of not giving up, or their children running round the living room or asking for a bike for Christmas because they watched me. 'We live in a tough world at the moment where opportunities are few and far between and our world's becoming a lot more digital so for people to be excited to be outside, to be excited about sport, I think is such a good thing.' Yee, who is already the most successful Olympic triathlete ever, has a third Games in Los Angeles in 2028 very much in his sights – and hopefully another gold in less nail-biting circumstances. 'It was an amazing moment and I would never change the finish but I still feel like I had something within me that could have made that race better,' he said of his Paris triumph. 'I'm not finishing that race thinking, 'I'm done, I've completed it', I'm thinking, 'What can I do to be better'? 'I still feel like I have that energy towards the sport and what's exciting me right now is that internal drive to be the best I can be. I know that each year success is rented and you've got to earn that right to be back at the top.'
