    Ok this is just my opinion and this is a public forum. I believe in everything in moderation and 1000 miles can't be good on the body or the skin for that matter (probably a high chance of developing skin cancer). Also, running "sub 3:30" is such a meaningless and arbitrary goal. Literally the only reason for him doing this is he enjoys it, but I reckon he has become slightly obcessed.

    what is wrong with having a passion for something. Just because you cant do it doesn't mean someone shouldn't do it. if i had to guess youre the life of the party aren't ya

    That study explicitly asserted that they did not know whether there was any long-term damage even from doing 30 years of marathons and said that there might even be a long-term benefit from short-term damage. The participants in the study showed damage that was already healing well a day later.

    I trust this has all been verified. That said, I'm impressed by the resiliency of his orthopedic health.

    He publicises pretty much all his races so yes they will be verified,he is also pretty well known in marathon circles so people would know if he was faking them.They are also all proper races which anyone can enter and results are published online.

    Funny how you can tell the difference between the skin and bones runners here, and people in good overall physical health. This kind of endurance isn't that surprising if you stay active, and eventually get into proper strength training.

    I wonder what his marathon PR is and how long ago he set that? I would imagine that now at his age he is probably running most of his marathons around the 3:30 mark.
