The ultimate marathon man: Belgian runner breaks record with 365 in a
single year
A Belgian runner has set a new world record after completing an
astonishing 365 marathons in as many days.
Stefaan Engels, 49, crossed the finish line on his final race in
Barcelona, Spain, after pounding the roads in several countries across
Europe and North America in the last year. Dubbed the 'Marathon Man', Mr
Engels was diagnosed with asthma as a child and told not to sports.
... ...
He averaged an impressive four hours for each of his marathons, with the
quickest taking two hours and 56 minutes.
===================
Akinori Kusuda of 65-year old Japan held the previous record for
consecutive marathons, running 52 races in a row in 2009:
