A young runner with Down's Syndrome says "80s rock music" encouraged him to run over 100km in just six days.

Joseph Adams, 21, ran 10k (6.2 miles) twice a day through Liege in Belgium, Luxembourg City, Heidelberg in Germany and Nice in France.

He also did the challenge in Bregenz in Austria, Zurich in Switzerland, Como in Italy and Monaco, before finishing it in his hometown of Altrincham, Greater Manchester.

Joseph, who didn't walk until he was nearly three, had never run more than 2k (1.24 miles) before starting the feat on August 27 in Amsterdam.
