Very impressive
Five hour runs at 14 min pace? Super impressive actually. You need to have otherworldly focus to do that day in day out. I thought slogging along at 11 min pace for 2 hours was a snoozefest.
Interesting.

Sorry but "running" 14 minute pace isn't impressive, it's brisk walking

Even brisk walking for five hours a day every day is impressive to me.
20 miles per day every day is truly impressive regardless of pace. I bet he has some real insight into staying healthy and focused
Yeah, but can he beat Bolt in a mile?
Never eats meat, but runs 8,000 miles a year? Where is YMMV when we need him? We need to hear about how any day now this guy is going to kill himself with carbs.
He looks healthy and fit.

YMMV disappeared, I think.
He posted a long thing saying he was going. I was really sad.
Now that you mention it I haven't seen a post from him in awhile. I hope he didnt have a heart attack or something.

Well for a 61 year old it isn't as bad as it seems but yeah when you are basically walking I have to imagine things like impact stress go way down. The dude probably has like a 2' stride.

I'm 70 and do about 50mpw. Half that is running at 8:30/mi to 9:30/mi pace. The other half is recovery at a fast walk pace. My fast walking is 14:00-14:30/mi pace. From my Garmin, stride length on my walking is about .88 meters, which is about 34 inches. Doing 8,000 miles per year would be like walking is your full-time job. As for diet I do eat a reasonable amount of meat and other protein, but most of nutrition is complex carbohydrates like granola, whole grain bread, potatoes, fruit, etc., and a reasonable amount of fermented fruits and grains.
He needs a better coach, he'll be burned out and vanish in college.
wait, were any of these miles 'run' if he's doing ~14:nn miles?
I'm not sure he's tripped mile 0-1 run with that performance?

Are you retired? I am and five hours of running or walking every day, an 8,000 mile year, is impressive to me.
Is actually closer to 22 miles per day. Guy appears to like slogging out the miles.
