The second image was of his swollen foot and ankle resting on what appeared to be a hospital bed.

He captioned the photos: "6 hours in A&E, one stress fracture, ligament damage, and a strained calf later I'm cruising again.

"First day I've been able to stomach food properly which is great, I've lost almost a stone in weight.

"Time to chill and recharge this broken body."

It comes after he shared his pride at breaking the record last week.

He managed to run marathons in all four of the UK countries in just under 24 hours, and is the first person in history ever to do so.

JP wrote on Instagram: "Today I officially became the first person in history to run a marathon in all 4 countries of the uk in 24 hours, with a time of 23:47:10.

"I don't think I’ve ever been that broken before, hands down one of the craziest experiences of my life.

"Thank you all so much for the support and donations over the past few days."

JP ran the marathon to raise money for mental health service Samaritans, and has so far got over £21,000 in donations.

He said on his JustGiving page: "As someone who has battled with mental health I know full well, that at times even in a crowded room, even with a loving family or an amazing bunch of friends, you can still feel very much alone.

"I don’t know why but sometimes expressing how you feel to a stranger can in fact be so much easier than speaking to your family, maybe it's the privacy or just the fresh perspective, either way they provide no judgement, no pressure and it's something I truly believe can and has changed someone's life. "

After he completed his final marathon in Wales, he went straight to hospital. when he arrived back in England.

JP told his followers: "Finally, back in England but straight to A&E. I'm unable to walk unsupported today so going to see what the damage is.

"My left leg was in a bad way from marathon 3. Fingers crossed it’s nothing big."
