Ten bucks says that he'll need both hips and both knees replaced within a year.

This is Mr. Aalto’s 15th time completing one of the hardest footraces in the world, which requires runners to cover 3,100 miles over 52 days.
He also holds the record at 40 days.

My dentist has completed every Chicago Marathon since the first in 1977, but his main focus is Ultras. Still running all original equipment.

It happened to me...not knees,just hips (both of them). Years ago my Cardiologist,who had warned me about my weight,told me that I'd wear my joints out from the rather radical exercise regimen I had adopted.

And she was right.

Feet, knees and hips only hold-up for so long, with that kind of punishment.
