This is a cool record. At least the time period is defined by a meaningful natural event.
But wait...he ran around a track for a whole day?! I thought only I was sufficiently insane to do that kind of stuff😂
No this was on a road course. Just 179 full laps.
Was Kouro’s record on a track or a road loop? I know he did some road loop attempts but I thought the 303 was on a track for some reason
303,5 was on track. It is more optimal in most cases so he always looked to run on track in the later part of his career.

Kouros 303k record was on track. At that time records where kept for road, track and indoor.
So he came back in 1998 to Basel, SWI to run 290k on roads.
I was in that race and it was cool to watch Kouros perform.
I cannot do math lol
I was looking at the lap counters, thinking they were full miles. Each road lap was slightly longer than that.
You ran that race? I did too. I agree, it was cool to watch Kouros. I loved his 'chute' to change, etc.

Yes, 6th place I think. One of my better performances in life.
Absolutely incredible performance!! Hard to comprehend.
Just so you’re aware that a marathon is very different than a 200 miles race.
Interview with Sorokin
Its incredible but just think how many people like him with no running background fat, out of shape, and playing video games before running. Whole while did not know he was the greatest ultrarunner ever in terms of feat accomplished.
This deserves a black page. Cannot believe it's not getting more attention.

It's only one of the greatest ultra running achievements of all time, but whadeva
Why are women so far behind? I always thought it was like 10% difference
24 hours women 175 miles- 192.5 Mi. men.
57:15 men half mar =-62:59
7:20 300m = 8:04. Actually that one is pretty close
Camille ran 149 km for the 12hr, while the men's record was at the time 163 km, so not that far off.
Also look at Courtney Dauwalter - came 7th overall in the UTMB.
She has come 1st overall in numerous times in other races.
I can't get past the Alphafly shoes he used to get the record. Supershoes have made new records much less interesting, in my view. Ultrarunning, especially, should be about the limits of human performance, not about superfoams and carbon plates increasing your capabilities.
Runningvis going the way of F1.

Courtney was almost exactly 10% behind D'Haine
Don Ritchie's long standing 100 mile record was also set on a track.
