I know a couple people that have done it, I know a lot more people that could do it but Money. There's a Marathon series called Mainly Marathons, a lot of people are doing 7 in 7 days or more all the time. Post #3 mentions most will be jogging it. So what? First, that triple performance is amazing. Second, I give credit to anyone who does 7 in 7 days even it's with Mainly which are basically out n back loops. I'm a very experienced Marathon/Ultra runner, 100+. I have run two in two days (Marathons and Ultras) several times, I don't think I could do 7 in 7.
Running 7 marathons in 7 days is not that difficult. Paying $60,000 and polluting the planed with endless flights is a whole other story. For $60,000 you can easily travel the world for a year and have money over.

To me, it is not terribly impressive. True, most people couldn’t do it. But those that could wouldn’t want to. Why drive your body to a point of brokenness so that you can barely run or walk? I don’t think it’s the mark of a great athlete.
