Pom smashes iconic Aus record but tracking furore rears ugly head
Earlier this week, English runner William Goodge not only broke the record for the fastest time to run across Australia — he smashed it. The 31-year-old beat Australian Chris Turnbull's previous record by a staggering four days, as he ran from Cottesloe Beach in Perth to Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach in just 35 days. He remarkably completed the 3,952 kilometre journey from west to east 12 days faster than notable Australian Nedd Brockmann did three years ago with roughly 500 people waiting to greet him at the finish line.

Goodge, who was once a model and semi-professional rugby player, spent 15 hours a day pounding pavement and ran roughly 110km per day on average to break the record. All the while, his more than 250,000 Instagram followers came along for the journey as they scrolled on their phones. The numbers are simply mind-blowing. It is little wonder the Englishman told he has 'been pretty horizontal' in the days since he completed his epic journey. Officially the fastest human to run across Australia. William Goodge. Congratulations to Will, well done to his team, and thank you to everyone that showed up to support the finish. â�¤ï¸�🇦🇰ðŸ�† — Represent (@representclo) May 19, 2025 But Goodge's success is not being widely celebrated among the ultra-running community. Running such vast distances is largely reliant on self-reporting via the data collected on a GPS watch, and some have accused Goodge of fudging his numbers. Fellow English runner William Cockerell voiced concerns about Goodge's heart rate data when he completed his run across the United States of America two years ago. Goodge ran from Huntington Beach in California to New York in 55 days, making him the fastest Englishman to ever do so. He was 13 days shy of American Pete Kostelnick's record, but Cockerell believed Goodge's heart rate was too low for the extreme distances he was running. Cockerell even went to America to follow Goodge during his run, trying to catch him swapping his official GPS watch with different runners and having a rest. The pair then clashed on the side of a road, which made for a fiery YouTube video. Goodge passionately denies the allegations, simply saying 'we had a tracker on, it was on me at all times' after his Australian record. 'People could come cheer me on or come for a run sometimes,' he added. The accusations come not just from Cockerell, however. Fellow British runner Robert Pope, who grew a massive beard in 2016 and recreated Forrest Gump's run, told British newspaper The Times last month that he doubted Goodge, saying his 'heart rate doesn't make sense'. The ABC reported that suspicions were heightened by Strava data on day two of Goodge's run across Australia when followers noticed that he had covered 400 metres in just 23 seconds - 20 seconds faster than South African Wayde van Niekerk's world record set at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Canadian Running Magazine also published that they had picked up that Goodge's data said he ran at faster than 80km/h on occasions. The anomalies could simply have been transmission errors as he ran through remote areas. While the heart rate concerns could be explained by him running slowly, or the fact often he ran with a face covering may helped. Regardless, Goodge has repeatedly denied the allegations against him. 'I've done everything I've ever said I've done,' Goodge told the Australian Financial Review (AFR) before he set off from Perth. 'But I appreciate that there is a higher burden of proof when you say you're going for an actual record.' With his feet up after the run, Goodge instead chose to focus on the positives. His efforts have raised more than $20,000 for the Cancer Council of Australia as well as thousands of dollars for UK charity Macmillan Cancer Support and the American Cancer Society. Goodge lost his mother from non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2018, and her memory was well and truly on his mind as he made his away across Australia. He lay flowers for her when he arrived at Bondi Beach, and the inspiration for his journey was a family holiday as a primary school aged child. 'I've always loved the country. I came for the first time when I was 11 and went all over the place. After that trip, I'd always bug my parents to move,' Goodge said of Australia. 'I wanted to grow up like an Aussie kid outdoors, everything seems super positive and obviously the weather is pretty good here compared to the UK. 'When I'm intrigued by a place, my way of going and looking at it is running across it or doing a big run within it. So, it seemed like a natural next step and one that I really wanted to do.' Family was also physically part of the whole journey as his father was part of the five member crew that supported Goodge in almost any way possible. 'The only things I do for myself are run every step and wipe my own ass,' he said with a laugh. 'They're literally helping with everything from the moment I wake up to when I go to bed.' Their support was essential particularly in the early stages, with the opening stanza out of Perth and dodging road trains and wildlife across the Nullabor proving most challenging. 'The first nine days were kind of like a revolving nightmare that I couldn't get out of,' Goodge said. 'I couldn't sleep at night because I was in so much pain. 'Obviously when you're not sleeping a lot, and you're going out and pushing hard again, it's relentless and it takes your head into some strange places.' Helping him as well was the support of new-found friends Brockmann and fellow Brit Russell Cook, who boasts 1.2 million Instagram followers under the moniker 'Hardest Geezer' after he ran from the southern most point of Africa to the northern most point. 'Nedd Brockmann is a friend of mine. We'd spoke beforehand and we chatted along the way,' Goodge said. 'It's quite hard to find similar people to yourself when you do cross country, literally across a country, not the traditional way.' Brockmann was one of the first people to comment on Goodge's Instagram post announcing he had broken the record, writing 'incredible my man'. 'You deserve it all mate. What a feat of human endurance, thanks for the daily inspiration and reminding us all we can always do more!! King Goodge!' he continued. Australian comedians Matt Ford and Jack Steele from The Inspired Unemployed also leant a hand by sending Goodge and his team some of their Better Beers for the celebrations. Goodge did not shy away from having a beer and a cigarette across the journey for his mental health and as he needed to consume roughly 7000 calories a day to fuel his body. He sometimes took those down moments as a chance to take aim at his vocal critics on social media, however. 'Keep talking motherf******, keep adding fuel to the fire and I'll make it even more unbelievable,' he wrote in one Instagram post. Another Instagram story was captioned: 'And from all of us at the record down under team, to the nay sayers we sincerely say f*** you.' Goodge insists his main motivation is not fighting his opponents, however. He says he will keep taking on these challenges, with the Berlin and New York marathons, as well as a project in Iceland, in his sights for the remainder of the year, because the finish line feeling is like no other. 'It's an unbelievable feeling because you've been out there for more than a month. Especially when you're in the middle of it, you think it's never going to end,' Goodge said. 'It's definitely a big amount of relief and gratitude to those who helped me. That feeling of crossing the line is like no other I can imagine. 'That's the real reason I keep going back to these things. 'It can only be attained through a huge and physical mental output.'

Mike, 34, and George, 32, claim to be 'two brothers from Manchester, who don't really belong in fashion'. Speaking to The Face, George said: 'Me and Mike grew up skating, surfing and snowboarding.

'We really leaned into this look through school and college, and eventually that [aesthetic] became our brand: what personally represents us,' George continues. Advertisement Thinking back to 2011, George had what he describes as a bit of an epiphany while studying graphic design at uni as he realised the typical 9-to-5 just wasn't for him. 'I didn't want to do graphic design. I didn't want that life. Our dad owned his own business and I thought: 'I want to be like that, I want to do my own thing.' So I started printing T‑shirts and selling them to my friends via Facebook.' Before long, he'd moved things over to a Big Cartel site and brought his older brother, Mike, on board to handle the design side of things. George took charge of marketing, sales, and sourcing suppliers.

Doha Festival City redefines sport and style with exclusive global brands
In Qatar, sport isn't just played—it's lived. From the thunder of race cars at Lusail to the roar of fans in stadiums, athleticism pulses through the nation's identity. It's a reflection of ambition, national pride, and an unwavering drive to be world-class. But today, Qatar's love for sport extends beyond the track or the pitch. It's walking the city streets, practicing yoga at sunrise, and making bold statements in luxury boutiques. This convergence of performance and prestige stands out at Doha Festival City. The mall is fast becoming the ultimate destination for those who see sport not just as a pastime, but as a lifestyle—and who want to dress the part, in a setting where style expression and coveted trends take center stage. With the recent debut of global names like New Balance, Represent, and Alo Yoga—each marking their first entry into the Qatari market— the mall is positioning itself as the style capital for modern athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and streetwear-savvy shoppers alike. At the forefront of this retail revival is New Balance, whose debut store at Doha Festival City is the only one of its kind in Qatar. Known worldwide for its fusion of heritage design and high-performance footwear, the brand is upping the local game by, not only planning an upcoming immersive mall run, but by introducing exclusives tailored to the Qatari market. One standout? A sleek line of Al Sadd football jerseys—introduced through New Balance's sponsorship deal with the Qatar Stars League club—drawing inspiration from the team's iconic black and white colors. The latest kit features the 'Remembering 1989' inscription and a wolf badge on the back, adding emotional and symbolic weight in a tribute to their legacy as the first Arab team to win the Asian Football Championship, highlighting the club's rich history and achievement. 'The Al Sadd-inspired collection celebrates Qatari pride while embodying our global design ethos,' said Ahmad Oriqat – Head of Marketing, Alshaya Group. 'Being the first to market here means we get to set the tone—and Doha Festival City provides the perfect platform to do that.' Adjacent to this momentum is Alo Yoga, whose Qatar flagship outlet is also housed within the mall. Cult-followed by everyone from LA influencers to global athletes, Alo brings cutting-edge activewear built for yoga, pilates, and paddle tennis. In a market increasingly driven by wellness and boutique fitness culture, the label gives Qatari consumers the ability to express that lifestyle through sleek, elevated essentials. Adding to this exclusive mix, Doha Festival City has recently welcomed Represent, the sought-after UK-based label known for its bold take on modern athleisure. The store features the brand's coveted 247 active range, fusing streetwear aesthetics with performance-ready design, and offering Qatar's fashion-conscious athletes and trendsetters another distinctive option under one roof.

With brake disc-inspired bezels, helmet-shaped presentation boxes, and intricate openwork dials, they capture the pulse of the sport and the prestige of exclusivity. The mall's appeal to trend-savvy athletes extends into the digital arena too.

As the only tournament of its kind in Qatar, the E-QSL brings the energy of the football pitch into the gaming world, connecting the sporting community with fans through competitive, tech-driven experiences. In the dynamic sporting environment the mall has carved out for itself, even global icons like Mutaz Barshim, who is known to have designed his own luxury watch range, step off the podium and into the spotlight, joining events like GQ Live at Doha Festival City to share stories that inspire, spark dialogue, and reflect the deeper cultural momentum driving Qatar's sporting evolution. This synergy between performance and luxury extends throughout the mall, with standout offerings from the Qatar National Team's sports brand sponsor, Adidas, Nike, Asics (the official sponsor of the Qatar Olympic Committee), and Under Armour, all styled to meet the demands of Qatar's high-octane lifestyle—from the Amir Cup to the FIFA Arab Cup 2025. At Doha Festival City, the convergence of sport and fashion isn't just a trend—it's fast becoming a statement. From race-day statements to paddle court looks, athleisure consumers today demand more than typical mall offers, they're looking for a curated space where global trends meet athletic lifestyles. This is more than a shopping experience—it's where Qatar's modern athletes, tastemakers, and wellness enthusiasts come to define how they move, compete, and express their identity through style.

Made in Chelsea star, porn heiress & beauty tycoon raised on council estate…young millionaires on Sunday Times Rich List
Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... WHILE Britain's richest are getting less wealthy, the under-40s are getting much richer. The annual Sunday Times Rich List is out this weekend, and to get on the list of the 40 richest people under 40, you now have to be worth a staggering £100million. 23 23 23 The minimum amount needed has almost doubled from £56million this time last year. And the billionaire Duke of Westminster is no longer the country's richest person under 40. The top spot has been taken by Russian-born Dmitry Bukhman, who made his £12.54BILLION fortune from video games. Many of the top 40 owe their mega wealth to technology, but there are still plenty of stars on the list, including Harry Styles, Rory McIlroy, Adele, Harry Kane and Anthony Joshua. At 29, Dua Lipa is the youngest with an estimated wealth of £115million and Ed Sheeran is the richest musician under 40 with a £370million fortune.

Ex- Made in Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo enters the list at £425million thanks to her marriage to BrewDog founder James Watt. Brewery boss James tells the Sunday Times: 'Georgia is the outcome of one of my worst-ever investments. I have a portfolio of about 20 small businesses. "One of them fell by the wayside but the founder of that business knew Georgia and set us up. So, I may have lost £150,000, but I gained a wife.' Here, we reveal the full list of the under 40s raking it in. 1. Dmitry Bukhman - £12.45billion Inside the Lavish Life of Billionaire Hugh Grosvenor 23 23 Russian-born Dmitry, 39, and brother Igor, 43, learnt to code on an old PC that belonged to their grandfather.

Ben Maruthappu - £123million After struggling for weeks to find suitable home care for his injured mother, Leena, former doctor Maruthappu set up the care firm Cera. It enables the NHS to significantly cut costs. 31. George and Mike Heaton - £122million 23 Their streetwear label, Represent's £180 hoodies and £110 T-shirts have been worn by Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa.

The pair took a total of £3 million in dividends. 'Country's brightest stars' Robert Watts, compiler of The Sunday Times Rich List, says: "Our 40 under 40 list showcases many of the country's brightest stars from the worlds of tech, fashion, music and sport. 'Almost all of these people built their fortunes themselves and their number includes some who left school with few, if any, qualifications. 'A third of our list didn't attend university. At least 11 of our entries were born overseas, underlining the draw our country continues to hold for ambitious, talented young stars to build their reputations and businesses.
