New Antarctica record for cool runner Donovan

ONE intrepid Irish athlete has just finished some seriously cool running.

Richard Donovan, from Galway, ran through wind-chill of minus 25C, snow and ice on Antarctica for 24 hours, 35 minutes and two seconds to set a new record — running 100 miles in a day.

It is the furthest distance anyone has ever covered on foot in one day on the frozen continent.
