Brazilian man quits IBM job, runs a marathon for 366 straight days. 2,000 fans show up for last one

That's crazy. 182 MPW for an entire year!

By the way, when is the Brojo 2:59 challenge happening? I'm sure you could get a decent crowd for that.

Wonder if he’s per chance a Tarahumara mix.

Maybe everyone’s too polite to tell him it’s stupid and pointless to run so much.

Attention seeking behavior. I simply can't relate to it.

More interesting is that IBM still exists. What do they make now? I haven't heard of or seen an IBM product in ages.

Probably big machines only corporations use, I guess, like originally.

This more seems like the guy with the longest fingernails. Anyone in theory can grow their fingernails out, but who really wants to?

And yet here you are

You are using their products literally every day, Bad Wigins.

IBM has a large and diverse portfolio of products and services. As of 2016, these offerings fall into the categories of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, commerce, data and analytics, Internet of things (IoT),[123] IT infrastructure, mobile, digital workplace[124] and cybersecurity.[125]
IBM Cloud includes infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) offered through public, private and hybrid cloud delivery models. For instance, the IBM Bluemix PaaS enables developers to quickly create complex websites on a pay-as-you-go model. IBM SoftLayer is a dedicated server, managed hosting and cloud computing provider, which in 2011 reported hosting more than 81,000 servers for more than 26,000 customers.[126] IBM also provides Cloud Data Encryption Services (ICDES), using cryptographic splitting to secure customer data.[127]
IBM also hosts the industry-wide cloud computing and mobile technologies conference InterConnect each year.[128]
Hardware designed by IBM for these categories include IBM's Power microprocessors, which are employed inside many console gaming systems, including Xbox 360,[129] PlayStation 3, and Nintendo's Wii U.[130][131] IBM Secure Blue is encryption hardware that can be built into microprocessors,[132] and in 2014, the company revealed TrueNorth, a neuromorphic CMOS integrated circuit
and announced a $3 billion investment over the following five years to
design a neural chip that mimics the human brain, with 10 billion
neurons and 100 trillion synapses, but that uses just 1 kilowatt of
power.[133] In 2016, the company launched all-flash arrays
designed for small and midsized companies, which includes software for
data compression, provisioning, and snapshots across various systems.[134]
IT outsourcing also represents a major service provided by IBM, with more than 60 data centers worldwide.[135] alphaWorks is IBM's source for emerging software technologies, and SPSS is a software package used for statistical analysis. IBM's Kenexa suite provides employment and retention solutions[buzzword], and includes the BrassRing, an applicant tracking system used by thousands of companies for recruiting.[136] IBM also owns The Weather Company, which provides weather forecasting and includes weather.com and Weather Underground.[137]

Ok he's done his aerobic base training, time for double threshold work.

"runs a marathon for 366 days." so it took him 366 days to run ONE marathon? WOW

IBM stopped making PCs in 2005. Biggest revenue is software (25/61 billion), for big business and Govt. They are big into AI, cloud storage and still provide h/w in the form of storage and servers.

least ret*rded brazilian

A marathon is a race, you dork. You know this so you’re just being an obnoxious troll.

I bet that narcissist Candace Burt is pissed that this guy gets attention when she ran her 200 straight 50ks and literally got almost no press at all.

Good for this guy. At least he didn't do it under the charity ruse. He did it because he wanted to.

They ought to do a full heart workup on him, because technically his heart should be trashe.d

Sympathies, who wouldn’t run away from an IBM job?

Is this the 800m media challenge?

Im brazilian, this is fake news

No he did not.
