Adam 'Tango' Holland - Episode 19 - 447 Marathons/Ultras and Counting!

06/05/20 • 65 min

Adam has 447 marathons and ultras to his name and has won more marathons/ultra marathons than anyone else in the UK.

He was only 23 years old when he had reached 100 marathons putting him in the Guinness World Records for being the youngest person in Europe to achieve this. He is also the fastest person to run 10 marathons in 10 days, with an average time of 2 hours 45 minutes. Last year he completed the famous John O’Groats to Lands End Challenge where he ran over 800 miles running from the top to the bottom of the UK.

This year Adam was due to run 20 marathons in 20 days but due to the current climate this has not been possible.

Although Adams achievements are very impressive, he was very modest during our chat. We discussed some of his many achievements but also delved a bit deeper into how his running has changed in recent times.
