A man from County Durham who had a health scare and lost four stone is now running marathons with his dog Watson at the age of 62.
In 2015, engineer, Ruiping Sun, then aged 55, faced several health problems which saw him take matters into his own hands and embark on a healthier lifestyle. He decided to take up running and soon lost 60 pounds in weight and hasn't looked back since.
Now 62, Ruiping, from Darlington, is still running and now has a companion in the shape of his partner in crime, six-year-old German Shepherd, Watson, accompanying him everywhere he goes. He said: "I believe anybody can run, it’s just a case of learning how. And it’s my mission – to help others.
