23-year-old runs for 24 hours - and then collapses!
Worcester (Great Britain) - Insane challenge: A 23-year-old British man tortured himself on the treadmill for 24 hours - and for a very special reason!
As the Daily Mail reports, Joe Pritchard has set himself an incredible challenge: a whole day on the treadmill, with short breaks for loo breaks.
He covered an impressive 167 kilometers - the distance of four marathons! The reward for his exertions: a proud 4000 pounds (around 4781 euros), which was donated to a good cause.
He filmed his achievement and shared two videos on TikTok . The clip showing his condition after the strenuous challenge in particular went viral and has already been viewed 7.6 million times.
Joe Pritchard lost consciousness twice
After the run, the young man struggled with mental blocks, nosebleeds and circulatory problems. He repeatedly had to be supported by his father and brother. He even lost consciousness twice.
But after four days, Joe had fully recovered and had no lasting damage to his health. His efforts were for a charity founded by the late rugby star Doddie Weir, which supports people with motor neurone disease (MND).
