wow, guy runs a marathon everyday for an entire year.

I don't regard my marathon year as torture. It is more like a regular job. I am running just as Joe Average goes to work on Monday morning, whether or not he feels like it," he said.

It's not only the running, but the travel to each marathon as well.

participating in races in Spain, Portugal, Canada, Mexico, Britain and United States, as well as several in his native country.

That's a pretty amazing feat considering the amount of time a marathon runner usually takes to recover. Anyone I know who runs marathons, generally leaves a month between.

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.

I am actually a little more shocked that there are consistently marathons every day of the year than I am shocked that someone would be able to run them.

Still an amazing feat.
