I used to race bikes and we'd often do 100 mile and 150 mile training rides and then race up to 100 miles in a single race but I can only imagine how painful it would be to run that far.

I used to run with the Hash House Harriers and there was one 64 year old doctor that ran ultras. He was a heart surgeon and he didn't have a quarter ounce of excess body weight. But he could drink huge quantities of beer.
