Aussie brothers attempting to run entire length of UK
Stefan and Lachlan Lamble are no strangers to pushing the limits, after successfully running across Australia to raise $210,000 for cancer research earlier this year.
Well the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) must have finally worn off because the brothers are already geared up for their next challenge - which is even more epic than the last.
Next year, the Melbourne siblings will attempt to run the entire length of the UK in under 31 days - the equivalent of 36 full marathons.

"We're dedicating our lives to push our bodies to the absolute limit and raise lifesaving funds for cancer research," Stefan told Today.
After losing one grandmother to cancer and watching another battle through treatment for the disease, the reason the brothers are raising money for charity is a personal one.
And come January, the pair will set off on a six-month intense training regime to prepare for what's ahead of them.
"We know UK is going to be so tough and the climb that we have to make is literally going to be the height of Everest across the whole of the UK," Lachlan said.
"So we got to get these legs nice and ready to go and that's how we're training, we're going into the woods and it's going to be so entertaining for everyone back at home to see."

When the brothers ran cross-country over Australia at the beginning of 2024, the effort took a serious toll on their bodies.
But knowing the good it will bring in raising money for those devastated by cancer is what's driving them to succeed this next adventure.
"When we ran across Australia, we had a broken leg, a broken foot, we had torn cartilage in our knees and there were tears, there was blood and there was sweat," Lachlan said.
"And I think the UK is going to be the next level because every day we have to go so much further."
