A 71 year old man, who has just become the oldest Briton ever to finish the Marathon Des Sables, has told 5 live people shouldn’t “use age as a get out” for physical achievement. Bill Mitchell, who only started running marathons at the age of 65, beat Ranulph Fiennes’ age record for the ultramarathon, which was set in 2015. The Marathon Des Sables is thought to be one of the most difficult ultramarathons in the world. It is a 156 mile, six-day race across the Sahara desert in Morocco. When asked how he coped with such gruelling conditions, Bill said “you just get on with it”. This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on Thursday 28 April 2016.
