The mile is an Imperial measurement.

(btw, by 'Imperial' you mean 'Roman', right? Because isn't a mile 1000 Roman paces?)

I ran a marathon back in the day, and could not imagine running 3.5 of these a day for 10 days. Not so much because of the cardio or muscular requirements, but because of the pounding on your body. I weighed 200 lbs and finished in 4 hrs and 1 min and my body paid a price. I was never winded or tired from running, but my back, knees, and ankles would begin to hurt from banging the pavement.

Maybe a small person could do something like this? Seems unlikely to me though.

Yeah 14 stone and some is fairly heavy for long distance running, unless you are very well put together. I'm fairly sure I could do 3.5 times the marathon in a day, but not confident i would be able to move the next day, or probably for 2 weeks afterwards.

Yes, but because the British Empire was the largest one ever to exist on the face of the Earth, it defaults to us anyway.

90 miles a day for 10 days is pretty respectable by bike. Impossible on foot, IMHO.

Not impossible. Google Yannis Kouros.

Yeah 6 day, 1000 mile races, that guy is sure one hell of a mentalist.

Ever read about his first Ultra? His very first Ultra he ran against all the best in the world at the time and crushed them all by hours. Part of it was at night and they all thought he cheated. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
