Runner Sophie Woods became the fastest person to complete the 2,000km (1242-mile) Via Alpina ultramarathon beating both the men’s and women’s record.
Woods ran the route through storms, heat of up to 37C and dodged floods and wildfires across eight countries.
“Through the whole thing, I was only ever thinking about the day, the hour, the sort of minute that I was in”, the runner told BBC Breakfast.
The previous record was 35 days and Woods did it in just 29, crediting ice cream slushies for helping her power through.
