Did this man really run the Boston Marathon route 4 times (104.8 miles) in 18 hours almost non-stop?

Kim Jong-Il has returned from the grave.

Trying to run from Hell, in vain at any speed.

Big deal, I did it last year in 17

So? I did it running backwards.

I’ll bet both of you cheated and ran on your feet instead of your hands.

I would have finished in 17 hours but my leg cast got wet and I had to tend to it for almost an hour.

I thought it was the frequency of the owner’s favorite radio station.

It's possible, Dean Karnazes Ran 350 miles (560 km) in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep in 2005

Amazing, perhaps incredible without drugs even (I presume). Averaging 13 minutes per mile. Just to stat awake for 80 hours is beyond me. But from his log,

SATURDAY 2:21 a.m. "I've been sleep running. I suddenly woke up and realized I'm still running. And the really bizarre thing is that I feel like I got a little catnap." -https://www.runnersworld.com/elite-runners/dean-karzes-runs-350-miles

And yet "Karnazes was not compatible with his high-school track coach, and stopped running for fifteen years."

"...I wanted to do a run for addiction awareness..."

The beef I have with this is that to raise awareness, you must assume I am ignorant, which offends me.

So no, This guy does not get to raise my awareness.
