EDIT BERCES


so this morning i ran in the run through redlands, and i was looking up race times and records and things for fun afterwards. i was trying to find the fastest time recorded for a 5k on the guinness site when i came across this lovely lady. she's an ultramarathon runner from hungary, and she holds the world record for longest distance covered on a treadmill over a span of 24 hours.
between march 8 and march 9 of 2004, edit ran 153.6 miles on a treadmill. THAT IS SO MANY MILES - especially to run all in a row. i did the calculations for it, and even though obviously she didn't run at the exact same speed for the whole day that puts her at a pace of 9 minutes and 23 seconds per mile. that's insane. know why that's insane? because she must've taken a few breaks here and there, which means she ran even faster than that to make up for lost time. that is a solid pace to keep up for that long.
not only does she hold this record and the record for 24 hours on a track, she has also won hungary's top ultramarathon race, the five-day Vienna–Bratislava–Budapest Supermarathon, and the European 24-hour championship. baaaaasically, she RULES.
