Sorry but my take is running distances like this is pure vanity.

Been there, done that and you are absolutely right..........

I used to get a kick out watching the running dudes prancing up and down a street warming up prior to a 5 or 10K race in their tank tops and super short shorts..........FWIW, I see they still do that....LOL!

Not against running, like the daily jog. But the extreme distances are crazy. Sure the pros can do it, they expect to get paid.. handsomely. But the average Joe? no.

My opinions were probably formed in the days of Jim Fixx, who died of running.

And my opinion of grape nuts and health food nuts, is of Euell Gibbons, who also died relatively young..
