Seriously doubt there are 300lb dudes running many ultra marathons. I recently read that book by the ex marine dude who did them. He was a freak in the low-mid 200s and he talks about how he destroyed his body pushing thru it. On top of it runners have sugar and whatnot they eat on the way, so op was making a conservative estimate.
- 9935c101ab17a66 7y agoAre you talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Goggins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Goggins? If so his wikipedia article is fcking hilarious. Someone should coin a term for people who write self-aggrandizing hyperbolic autobiographical wikipedia entries.
- selestify 7y agoHoly shit your comment made me curious about the Wikipedia entry, and boy oh boy were you spot on! Hahahaha
- p1esk 7y agoI was curious so I just read it - even if half of it is true, he’s an incredible individual.
- topmonk 7y agoIn what way is it hyperbolic?
- thatoneuser 7y agoThanks for supporting my point lol
- nugga 7y agoThe article may have some strangely worded parts but he seems to be an incredibly strong willed and determined person going from a fat slob gulping down milkshakes (paraphrasing his words) to a seal and an ultra runner. He was on Joe Rogan at least twice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tSTk1083VY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tSTk1083VY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvWB7B8tXK8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvWB7B8tXK8
