Any serious runner should be able to run a mile in 4.30 ... the world record is 3.43! And 26 x 4 1/2 = 1h 57m which is under the marathon record.

He'd lose if he offered that bet to anyone who was genuinely an athlete.

One of my good friends was a scholarship Div I track and cross country runner. His best mile time was 4:09.

I asked him about this and he said there is no way he could run 4:30 or under miles 26 days in a row.
