In an article in Mens Health magazine featuring Sylvester Stallone he mentioned during the filming of rocky 3 that he ran under a 5 minute mile. He ran under 5 minutes due a challenge by Carl Weathers that he could run a faster mile. Stallone claimed Mr T was also running but dropped out after 300 meters.
It was a Badger mile.
So according to the title, Mr. T "ran under 5 miles" too, since he only ran 300 meters?
Well in Rocky 2, Rocky went for a 30.6 mile run in one scene. Somebody pieced together all the parts to the montage and tracked the distance and did a blogpost on it.

"I enjoy how he actually sprints away from his Pied Piper-like following at the end of this run, making sure they know that he's the professional athlete here and not them. And look how much energy he has left after his monster run!
Top boxers usually do a lot of roadwork to increase stamina; the LetsRun forum says Kelly Pavlik once won an award in a 10K the week of a fight. Ali ran about three miles every workout, per Norman Mailer's book. An episode of 24/7 showed Floyd Mayweather running an 8-miler. But this? This is ridiculous.
Total distance traveled: 2.45 miles this leg, 30.61 miles total
Over 30 and a half miles. Rocky almost did a 50K. No wonder he won the rematch against Apollo!"
You only need 5-8 a day to get in really good shape, endurance-wise.
I wonder how many miles per day the legendary Butterbean ran?

Mr T actually mentioned after a every 2 miles he would inject himself with steroids to keep his endurance up
