Ex-soldier from Swindon completes marathon challenge

A former soldier from Swindon has completed a challenge to run 100 marathons in 100 days to raise money for Help For Heroes.

Mike Buss, 36, says he has unofficially broken the world record after completing the challenge at the Birmingham NEC earlier.

He has been running on treadmills at 19 locations around the UK since June.

The challenge saw him cover 2,620 miles, raising £35,000 for the military charity.
