    I mean, he didn’t run. 45km a day, when you walk 8 hours per day, is about 5.6kmh, which is absolutely doable for humans. Still, doing that every fucking day for an entire year is a stunning effort. I’ve been on hiking trips where we did 40-50km each day for three days and I needed a few days to recover. Oh, and I didn’t hike through the continent known for its heat and deserts and wars.

    Edit: I stand corrected. The guy is even more of a beast.

      You can follow him on Strava and see all his runs, looks like he was doing up to 80km a day. On the 3rd of April he did 85km and the next day 81km. Insane!

      Edit: his longest run according to Strava was 110km
