John O'Groats To.....
On the 23rd July, Bryce Alford, the star of BBC3's fitness programme Hercules, set out to break the World Record running from John O'Groats to Lands End in 9 days in aid of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity.
Bryce previously raised over £13,000 for Breakthrough breaking the Guiness World record for the longest run on a treadmill, running 100km in 10 hours 37 minutes!
To break the new record, Bryce had set himself a harsh regime of travelling 100 miles a day, running for two hours and resting for one.
Unfortunately, having completed the equivalent of 4 marathons within the first 24 hours, Bryce developed hip and knee injuries that led him to withdraw from his record attempt.
Everyone at Elddis wishes Bryce a speedy recovery and salute him for what is in itself an incredible achievement.
