a 5k
a 10k
a half marathon
a marathon
a 50k
a 50 miler
a 100k
and finally a 100 miler.
Not even close.
Not sure if TS is portraying his accomplishments as greater than they, in fact, are (ala DK) but he is a 2:10 marathoner and the world record holder at 100k with a 6:13. He is, to say the least, LEGIT; a world-class ultrarunner. Can't imagine what he would need to "elaborate" in that resume.
Karnazes is a very fit person and has run some pretty good regional ultras and is great at marketing himself. He is not close to world class and chooses to dupe many into thinking he is one of the world's best.
