I haven't seen a WR run in January in quite some time but it's already happened. Less than 5 hours to go.

Slovakia's Michal Šuľa is already way past the old record of 843.94 km and is almost certain to break 900km as he has a few hours left and is bound to break 900km (It ends after 168 hours - see his mileage totals in km on the board in the back of the youtube video).

Zero chance he's going to break the unofficial non-Guiness record of 1,056 km cited in his article:

PS. Show him some love. Everyone in Europe is asleep and he only has 6 youtoube watchers right now. I think he's averaging just over 80 miles a day over 17+ minute miles for a week straight.

The thought of being on a treadmill for that long at that slow of a pace is mind numbing.

To the point it's actually more impressive from a mental standpoint than physical, and it's not even close.

I am not impressed at all. I find it disturbing.

Watching it sounds like watching paint dry.

When I was watching him run, it didn't look that slow and that was after a week. I'd love to know how much he actually ran, slept each day. And did he run the same pace or would he walk at times, etc?

PS. He made it 912.22 km according to this article:

Predchádzajúce maximum prekonal o takmer 70 kilometrov.
