Oswestry's Amy Hughes off on marathon trip to capital
She is already a record-breaker having completed the remarkable feat of running 53 marathons in 53 days.
Now Amy Hughes has set off on her latest challenge – running 200 miles to the capital ahead of the London Marathon on Sunday.
On Saturday, Amy left her hometown of Oswestry as she set out on her epic journey to London ahead of the big day.
Amy, who started from Festival Square in the town, continues to raise money for the Isabelle Lottie Foundation, which supports the families of children with brain tumours.
Speaking before she set off, the 26-year-old said she was looking forward to her next challenge. She said: "It's a new challenge so I am excited. I am also a bit nervous."
Amy's hectic schedule saw her cover 33 miles to Telford on Saturday followed by 35 miles to Birmingham yesterday. Today she is due to travel a further 35 miles to Rugby and a moderate 22 miles to Northampton tomorrow.
Wednesday will be the longest day, running the 37-mile leg to Luton, before the shortest day, covering 12 miles to St Albans on Thursday.
She will travel the 25 miles from St Albans to Trafalgar Square on Friday and then drop in to the O2 Arena to present an award at the Running Awards ceremony – and pick up her own award for "best running moment of the year."
