It's great to see such wonderful, anonymous' comments about wanting me to die soon coming from one of our friendly brethren from up the road. .. Why not be a real man for once and explain to me what it was that you found so offensive about my comments on this thread!
Likelihood is that he would have run 100 miles then worked on something else for the following days - doubt he'd have run 100 miles every day he trained (Especially as long distance runners will run an average of maybe 6 or 7 minute miles for the great north run (the top runners) - if he did, say 7 minute miles that's 700 minutes (11 hours 40 minutes) - so he would have had to spend 12 hours a day on the treadmill at a high intesity to do this
The top runners run much faster than that mate. The record time is under one hour which equates to a mile about every four and a half minutes.
