This is in today's Globe and Mail. Not sure I would ever think of doing something like this. What do I mean not sure - I am sure I would never do this.
Ultramarathon
“This Sunday in New York, a small knot of runners will start running around the block,” Benjie Goodhart reports for The Guardian. “They will resemble any other running club although they might look a little slow. They will run one lap of the 0.5488-mile [883-metre] block. Then they will do it another 5,649 times. The 3100 Transcendental Race is the longest certified foot race in the world. Every day for the next six to eight weeks, the entrants will race from 6 a.m. until midnight – averaging 75 miles a day. For no payment or prize.”
I know that running is considered healthy by many. Not by me, but that is for another discussion. But, there has to be a point where running becomes unhealthy. Isn't it everything should be done in moderation. I am sure that running for 18 hours a day isn't considered moderation.
