Seven years ago, he ran 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days from one coast of the US to the other. Before that he spent three days and three nights running 350 miles – the last night "sleep running" as he went.

In 2015, he hopes to traverse the world by clocking up marathons throughout the year in 204 countries.
