A British ultra-endurance athlete says he has broken the world record for running across the width of Australia, after a gruelling 35-day journey. William Goodge, 31, started the 3,800km (2,361-mile) run from Cottesloe Beach in Perth on 15 April, and finished on Monday afternoon at Australia's iconic Bondi Beach. Goodge's team says he ran the equivalent of two-and-a-half marathons, about 100km, every day. The record is yet to be verified by Guinness World Records, which certified Chris Turnbull's record-breaking dash across the continent over 39 days in 2023. The year before, Australian electrician Nedd Brockmann ran the same route in 47 days. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #BBCNews
