A Lincolnshire farmer who lost four stone in weight has run a marathon in less than four hours – helping to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
Charles Anyan only took up running nine months ago after his local swimming pool was forced to close during the first coronavirus lockdown.
He completed the marathon in 3hrs 53min 41sec on Saturday (23 January) around his home village of Springthorpe, Gainsborough.
Mr Anyan said he would usually have a snack after going swimming but changed his diet after taking up running.
