Record-breaking gran, 81, vows to keep on running after completing 177 marathons

A gran aged 81 has told how she ran three ­marathons in a week… and has no plans to stop just yet.

Hilary Wharam took part in the Rob Burrow race on Sunday May 14, followed by another one the next day and a third the following weekend, without any training.
