Man Named 'Tiffany' Is Dominating Women's Pro Volleyball in Brazil

Even when I was in shape... I never liked running; just for the sake of running.  This is nuts to me!

24-hour run

A special form of ultra marathon is a 24-hour run. Here, the participants have to run as far as possible within 24 hours. The male world record is 303.506 km and was set by Yiannis Kouros and Mami Kudo holds the female record of 252.205 km.

I used to watch sports documentaries while I was jogging on my treadmill to motivate me. I saw a lot of great ones, but one that stuck with me was about this woman who was running a ridiculously long distance across Canada and only stopping to eat. Her feet were bleeding, she was crying and shaking. She just kept running. I don't know if I admire that or think she's putting being the best on way too high of a pedestal. I don't know.

I think I have mixed feelings on that as well... On one hand my first reaction is "that's just stupid", but then on the other, I do admire the discipline and drive to accomplish what you set out to. Kind of puts me to shame.... I've come close a couple of times for an Iron Butt on the motorcycle. Thought about just setting out and doing an unofficial one... that's about as close to an endurance sport that I come now days.
