In case you missed it: we catch up for one final time with Ben Smith as he crosses the finish line of his 401st marathon in (just over) 401 days. He's raised more than £250,000 for anti-bullying charities.

~~~~~~~

"I'm doing this to raise £250,000 for two anti-bullying charities.

"I was bullied for eight years of my life at school. It affected my confidence and self-esteem and that led to me trying to take my own life when I was 18."

After coming out as gay, the runner wanted to raise awareness of the damage caused by bullying and to support his chosen charities, Kidscape and Stonewall.次觀看

He said: "A key objective of The 401 Challenge has been to involve as many people as possible and create opportunities for children, young people and adults to discuss the difficult topics of bullying and sexuality."

After the final marathon, his team have put together a three-month "cool down" involving a month of back-to-back half marathons, followed by a month of 10km runs and a month of daily 5km runs.
