Lithuanian comes close to breaking 200-mile barrier as he runs 4:30/kilometre for a whole day at the European 24hr Champs in Verona

Lithuanian Aleksandr Sorokin produced one of the greatest ultra performances in history as he added a staggering 10.8km to his previous world record when he completed 319.614 kilometres in 24 hours which is only 1.5 miles short of 200 miles on Saturday (Sept 17) in Italy.

It meant the 40-year-old averaged a stunning 7:15 mile pace or 4:30 per kilometre for a whole day!

Runner-up Andrzej Piotrowski went third all-time with a Polish record of 301.859 kilometres.

In fifth, Daniel Lawson went second all-time in the UK with a distance of 273.003km and led the British team to a close fourth place.

In fifth place, Joasia Zakrzewski set a British women’s record as she posted a distance of 247.985km to add 909m to Lizzy Hawker’s previous record set in 2011.

Poland’s Patrycja Bereznowska won with a distance of 256.250km.
