Well there are a number of super marathoners as they are known who regularly runs races that are 50, 75 and even hundreds of miles. Yes that’s right I said a race that runs 200 miles. These men and women are what I would consider completely nuts but that is what they like to do. I mean for these people running a 26 mile marathon is like a warmup for them. one of the more prolific runners has stated that he runs a marathon in the morning sometimes before breakfast!
This same guy after he ran a marathon in New York said he was going to then run back home, his home in san francisco that is. Now he wasn’t going to do it all in one continous run of course but that is just what he did.
