A man is setting out to run 30 marathons in 30 days in 30 different countries. Mike Humphreys, 40, is taking on the challenge - which will see him complete 786 miles overall - to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Tomorrow (4) Mike will be setting off to Barcelona, Spain, where he will run his first marathon. After that, he will head to Switzerland, Montenegro, Poland and Luxembourg - ending his 30-day challenge in Hull, England. In preparation for the challenge, Mike ran the Iron Man Challenge - a long-distance triathlon - and has spent two weeks running every day.
