Jamie Laing was on Wednesday two days and around 100 kilometres (62 miles) into his epic fundraising run for Comic Relief as he aims to complete five ultra marathons.

The Radio 1 presenter is undertaking a 150-mile challenge from the BBC offices in London to Salford, Manchester, which he aims to complete by Red Nose Day on Friday.

Laing, who rose to fame on Made in Chelsea, began his pilgrimage on Monday and is now on the gruelling third day, having already raised more than £100,000.

“That was a rollercoaster of emotions, so many emotions. Highs, extreme lows and a lot of pain… BUT…. We did it,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, made a banner, given me a high 5, honked their horn or sent an amazing message.

“I see and hear them all and those are the little moments that keep me going. We’ve raised over £100,000 which is simply MIND-BLOWING!!”

An ultra marathon (often written as ultra-marathon or ultramarathon) is any race longer than the standard 26.2-mile marathon distance, typically ranging from 30 to 100 miles or more.

On the third day of the challenge, Laing was attempting to run from Market Harborough to Loughborough in Leicestershire.

He wrote on Instagram on Tuesday night: “I can’t lie I’m terrified about tomorrow, every fibre is telling me I can’t do it so I’ll need your support more than ever.”
