A FITNESS fanatic from Ayrshire set a new course record for a gruelling 100km race at the weekend.
Scott Brown smashed the previous record on the Saint Cuthbert's Way Ultra 100km.
The Irvine gym owner ran the brutal trail race in 10-hours, 13-minutes and 24-seconds.
In addition to the length of the trail, there was also an ascent of 8067 feet and descent of 7765 feet.
As well as the difficult nature of the route, Brown - founder of SBF - had to contend with intense temperatures which roasted the nation over Saturday and Sunday.
However, the 40-year-old was delighted to get another win under his belt.
He tweeted: "I set a new course record on Saint Cuthbert's Way Ultra 100KM!
"Huge thanks to @kerrix87x for crewing me today, you were awesome.
"The heat was brutal but I got the job done. It was a great event by @trailoutlaws.
"Thanks to my coach Casey Morgan as always. I wouldn't get half of the wins I get without the input and coaching you have given me."
Brown says he's recovered well and is now looking forward to his next big event in August.
He is set to race across Scotland in a jaw-dropping 214-mile coast-to-coast route.
On Saturday, August 13, Brown will set off at 6am as he travels along Southern Upland way until it reaches Cockersburn path on the East Coast, past Edinburgh after passing the borders.
That event is expected to take around 60 hours to complete.
