Anyone who races marathons leaves a month or more between but he runs these at an easy pace. He said he runs them around 4 hrs each. His best marathon time was 2:56.

Someone who can run a 7 minute mile marathon running 10 minute mile marthon will recover a lot quicker. Like an average person walking for 4 hours a day.

The real accomplishment though is the consistancy day in day out and running them on travel days. Flying from Europe to Mexico or Canada and running a marathon the same day is really impressive. And being able to run without injury that long is impressive as well.
