British runner Amy Hughes completes 53 ultramarathons in 53 days – video

Amy Hughes, aged 36, has run 53 ultramarathons in 53 days in an effort to raise money for the mental health charity Bigmoose. Hughes began her challenge on 24 July, and has covered a total distance of 2,809km (1,745 miles) in less than two months. On average, she estimates she ran for between six to six-and-a-half hours each day, with pauses for food breaks and, very occasionally, dropping to a walking pace. This is the second time the runner has completed the challenge after she raised money through the same method in 2014
