Outlander's Sam Heughan appears at Glasgow Hydro fitness event as part of My Peak Challenge

Outlander star Sam Heughan has been getting his sweat on in Glasgow today in a gruelling physical challenge - and all for a good cause.

The Scottish actor made his way to the Hydro for the Hyrox Glasgow competition. The event challenges participants to do a 1km run, followed by one functional workout, which is then repeated eight times.

It is described as taking place in "large indoor venues, creating a unique stadium like atmosphere for all participants".

And it sounds like Sam did an excellent job. A video posted to his instagram showed he and his teammate and Outlander co-star Nicolas Rasenti doing burpees, weighted lunges, running, and more.

He wrote: "Mini @mypeakchallenge for myself, competing at Hyrox Glasgow event!

"Thanks to my team mate @nicrasenti , we smashed it @ 1hr (top 100!?) and managed to beat @valbo00 (but let’s not say by how much!)"

Same took on the competition as part of his My Peak Challenge - a movement "dedicated to educating and inspiring its members to live healthier, happier, and more balanced lives while raising funds to change lives".

Well done, Sam! We're knackered just watching you.
