Robbie Young DESTROYS Dave Reading!!!
From the Brit Fake News reporter Daniel Johnson:
"After completing 370 marathons and ultras in a calendar year, covering more than 11,000 miles, a penniless Robert Young did not think of rest. Young had just £80 in the bank, having spent his life savings on this record-breaking mission. His legs must have been shot. Apparently not.

"But Young’s limits are far beyond your average person, even your exceptional runner.
"His next challenge is an attempt at BREAKING THE RECORD for Land’s End to John O’Groats next month.
"After that, more than 3,000 miles across America from Huntington Beach, California, to New York. Young believes 40 days is possible, six lower than the current trans-American record.
