A teenager running a mile a day in April to raise money for a mental health charity said it will be “an honour” to be joined by Hardest Geezer Russ Cook for the final leg of his challenge.

Marcus Skeet, 16, has run one mile every day this month for Mind UK and will complete the last part of his challenge in London on Tuesday alongside the ultra-runner, who made headlines after running the length of Africa for charity.
