Video report by Jennifer Cordingley.
A runner from the Borders has completed the 212-mile Southern Upland Way, running the route and smashing the previous record.
Anna Rutherford, from Eddleston, ran from Portpatrick in the west to Cockburnspath in the east in 62 hours and 34 minutes - all just nine months after giving birth.
The 38-year-old lawyer told ITV Border: It s a beautiful route, it s so remote you can run for a day and not see anyone. It s absolutely stunning. But I had just given birth so I didn t know what was possible, so I thought I ll try it and see if I can run the whole way and that would be an amazing achievement.
