A student who ran 2,000 miles along a single A-road during his university degree has signed off his studies with a 100km ultra marathon along the carriageway. Viet-Anh Tran said he 'recognised every pebble' as he ran nine laps along the Portway in Bristol from Harbourside to Sea Mills station over 16 hours.
The 22-year-old rarely exercised before he moved to the UK to study computer science at the University of Bristol but found running helped boost his mental health.
He initially ran in Converse but got more serious as he began heading along Portway most days. By his third year, he was often running the route for up to three hours each evening.
