Liverpool legend John Arne Riise completed a remarkable running challenge over the weekend.

Riise, 44, is written into Anfield folklore after a memorable seven-year stint at the club between 2001 and 2008.

During his time with the Reds, the former left back played 348 times, winning seven trophies.

This included Liverpool's iconic Champions League triumph in 2005 when they came from 3-0 down in the final to eventually beat AC Milan on penalties, although Riise did miss his spot kick in the shoot-out.

And, over the weekend, Riise - who also counts the likes of Roma, Monaco and Fulham among his former clubs - took part in perhaps his toughest challenge yet.
