A HERNIA patient who took up jogging while he recovered from surgery has broken the world record for running 465 half-marathons in one year.

Superfit Edward Molineaux clocked up a staggering 6,000 miles between April 6 last year and April 7 this year.

The 34-year-old previously set the record for running the most half-marathons in 12 months when he finished 282 between 2022-23.

Edward has now smashed his own record and even won the 2,000-mile virtual races across Africa.

Edward, from Willenhall, only took up running while recovering from a hernia in 2020.

He said: "I used to love sports like boxing but when I suffered a hernia it took me about two years after my operation to get my body back.
