The half marathon world record now begins with a 56.

But I bet the guy who ran the 4:20 was having a lot more fun running high on laudanum and burning one with a lip in.

The fact that he could run 3 miles before most humans could run one is absolutely insane

Eating cheese puffs reading this. Impressed.

amazing! I doubt I could keep pace with him for 30 seconds.

That's incredible! People can be so amazing!

Ri-di-cu-lous

Insane

But did anyone take a stopwatch to Africa in 1870?

I don’t think I could do that on a golf cart

I think I could do it on a bicycle.

If the course was all downhill.

That’s running at 15 mph speed on a treadmill for 13 miles 😂 💀

13.1

guy was really blazing it out there
