Reading the local newspaper this week, I found out a character quite remarkable visiting my city. Stefaan Engels, is a Belgian born runner who decided to run 42 kilometers every day for a year… (cough!), yes, for a year. So far, he has ran 215 marathons since the beginning of 2010. No matter what. No matter the day (happy hour anyone?), no matter the weather, no matter the blisters.His motivation? “Everything is possible” he says, while he wants to raise awareness of people to get moving.
During his daily marathons, he tries not to think, just run and listen to the music (just as the rest of us!). He burns approximately 6,000 calories a day, and eat three times more what a normal person would, but pretty much eat and drink (wine inclusive!) whatever.
I think maybe is a little too much running for my taste. And my joints. And my feet. And my pocket. But, I must say I am proud this guy belongs to my sport.
