BRITISH bakery brand Greggs has something of a cult following in the UK and among Brits around the world - for some, it's even a reason to go back for a visit.
And anybody who has been to the UK can testify as to just how prolific the Greggs brand is - there's one, and sometimes more, on nearly every street.
As a bakery brand however, it's not something a pharmacist would recommend.
However, one UK man may have a solution to that.
According to a report in The Sun, Bradley Whalen-Griffiths set off on a nearly six-hour run around his home city of Newcastle in the UK north-east, stopping at each of the city's 29 Greggs outlets for one of their delectable sausage rolls.
From an exercise point of view, Whalen-Griffiths' 26-mile run was highly positive, however financially, he also spent more than $70 on his day out.
Each sausage roll contained 331 calories, meaning his carb-loading adventure saw him take on more than 9,600 calories, or four times the recommended daily limit.
"I started to struggle in the city centre as there are so many Greggs close to one another - I was eating and running, eating and running," he said.
The challenge came as part of a wider training regime for the Lakeland Trails ultra-marathon.
"I have to get used to eating while running, although I don't think you're supposed to eat sausage rolls."
