Pensioner named oldest Brit to complete 100 marathons despite doctors warning not to run

A Brit has become the oldest man to complete a staggering 100 marathons - after doctors urged him not to run.

Martin Ward, 64, started running in his mid-fifties in a bid to get fit after ballooning to 15st.

After falling in love with it, he began taking on the 26 mile challenges in 2015 and has gone on to average 12-and-a-half marathons a year, now completing his hundredth.
