Belgian Stefaan Engels completes record 365th marathon

Engels averaged about four hours to complete his marathons
A Belgian runner has set a new world record by completing 365 marathon races in a year.
Stefaan Engels, dubbed "Marathon Man", began his challenge in Belgium a year ago and has since run a marathon every day across seven countries.
He crossed the finish line in the Spanish city of Barcelona after running 15,000km (9,569 miles) in a year.
"I don't regard my marathon year as torture. It is more like a regular job," the 49-year-old said.
He averaged about four hours to complete a marathon. He said his best time was 2 hours and 56 minutes.
Engels suffered from asthma as a child and had been told by doctors to avoid sport.
Before Engels, the record marathon man was Akinori Kusuda of Japan - who ran 52 races in a row at the age of 65 in 2009.

That is just crazy. I wonder if there was actually an official marathon every day of the year or if he just ran 26 miles on some of the days. You'd have to have nothing else going on in your life to commit to such a thing, especially with all the traveling.

But, is it possible? No rest between Marathons? 365 marathons in a row?
Sorry, but I don't actually believe the claim.

If somebody offered you $5 million dollars to repeat that feat could you do it? 365 marathons in a row? I tell you it can't be done.
