Chilly conditions haven’t stopped Maj Joss Mowforth (RE) from getting stuck into his training for the London Marathon this spring.

The bonkers Sapper will be attempting to break the world record for running a marathon while carrying a 25kg fridge – a title currently held by a Finnish man with a time of 3hr 53min 14sec after he beat the 2023 efforts of Royal Marine Cpl Sam Hammond.

Maj Mowforth has named his accompanying appliance “London Fridge” –  a marginally better naming attempt than Cpl Hammond’s “Fridget Jones”, we think!

“It’s not just about setting a record, it’s an effort to raise awareness and funds for SSAFA,” the officer said.
