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.

But after he finished the incredible challenge on September 1, he said he was "happy" and that "80s rock music" helped him through it."

Joseph said: "I was so happy to finish and see all of my friends in the crowd. "

"I really struggled with the heat but with the help of extra malt loaf and 80s rock music, I was able to make it. "

"My favourite songs were The Final Countdown, Livin' on a Prayer and Don't Stop Believing."

Joseph first decided to do the challenge because his football club Altrincham FC wanted to raise £100,000 so they could have a disability sports programme.

He then decided to run 100km in six days, because it would be a "bigger challenge."

Dad Phil, 57, said: "Joseph is a big swimmer - he actually won a gold medal at the Down's Syndrome world championships."

"But instead of doing a swimming challenge which would have been 'easy', we thought we would go for a bigger challenge."

Joseph's challenge has been named 'No Limits'

because he's teaching people to when you ignore people's labels, you "enable them to explore their full potential."

Phil said: "Joseph has taught us that if you ignore labels attached to people and pre-conceptions of what they can achieve, you enable them to explore their full potential. "

"We didn't know Joseph could complete this challenge as he had never run more than 2k before. "

"But by not assuming that he couldn't, we were able to take it on and hopefully inspire other people, whether they have special needs or not, to explore their own capabilities. "

"The No Limits message seems to have really resonated."

Joseph has now raised over £350,000 so Altrincham FC can fund a disability sports programme.

Debbie Hewitt, from the Football Association, said: "It was such a privilege to share in Altrincham FC's celebrations on Sunday. "

"Joseph is an inspiration to the local community, to all of us in English football, and now to our international colleagues. "

"His legacy of providing access to football for everyone - whatever their ability - will make a profoundly positive difference to so many lives. "

"Thank you, Joseph, from all of us in football."
