A British woman has become a world record holder after running from the top to the bottom of New Zealand in just 36 days - covering a staggering 1,300 miles.

Menna Evans only started running two-and-a-half years ago but has already completed a challenge most runners could only dream of.

The 40-year-old single mum has ran for eight-and-a-half hours a day, covering 35 miles, to smash the Guinness World Record for running the entire length of New Zealand.

She completed the challenge on February 4 after setting off on January 1 - a period of 36 days which smashed the previous record by 16 days.
