Eldorado Posted May 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2016 We have trains and buses here in Britain that couldn't do that. 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted May 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Get outta here, that's nothing ! If he has a rare condition which gives him an advantage over others, is it fair that he can compete in marathons? Just asking, personally I think the man is pretty cool, if the scientists can clone this condition or do whatever they do in their Frankenstein labs, we could see super humans bopping all over the joint. I would like to bop like him. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernal Gnu Posted May 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2016 WOW! This is so incredibly STUNNING and awe-inspiring! I never knew that a human could run NON-STOP for 80 hours up to 350 miles!! Of course, he would have to drink lots of water and eat on the run and pee and crap in his pants to avoid stopping. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted May 15, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Has a rare condition that prevents blistered feet too ? Something odd here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he would have to drink lots of water and eat on the run and pee and crap in his pants to avoid stopping. Id imagine he would take a short toilet stop....its hardly the same as a good rest tho, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted May 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Now that is a piece of genetic code that needs to be isolated, stored and become part of the standard package of genetic enhancements once that technology is developed. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there are downsides, like you can't stop running ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted May 15, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Now that is a piece of genetic code that needs to be isolated, stored and become part of the standard package of genetic enhancements once that technology is developed. ever heard of the Tarahumara Indians? A recent National Geographic study (Nov. 2008) states: "When it comes to the top 10 health risks facing American men, the Tarahumara are practically immortal: Their incidence rate is at or near zero in just about every category, including diabetes, vascular disease, and colorectal cancer...Plus, their supernatural invulnerability isn't just limited to their bodies; the Tarahumara have mastered the secret of happiness as well, living as benignly as bodhisattvas in a world free of theft, murder, suicide, and cruelty."So what is the Tarahumara story and what can we learn from them? How can we use their history as an example for our own primal living? For some they may not be an example of what is considered primal, but they are one of the closest we can find in today's world. https://en.wikipedia...ámuri_people do watch, just ten mins Edited May 15, 2016 by seeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieChecker Posted May 15, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 15, 2016 350 miles in 80 hours is a little less then 4.5 miles per hour. Which is pretty amazing, but not a "sprint". That is a moderate jog. Perhaps he walked half and sprinted half..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he walked half and sprinted half..... It is pretty remarkable if true. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted May 16, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I didn't read the full article, but I guess he carried food and water with him? I also wonder about potty breaks. I can't believe he held his bladder that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
