Clubber Lang ran 300 miles?


In the "Eye Of The Tiger" montage in the beginning,when Clubber Lang is coming out in the news papers,there is an article of him that says "300 mile runner at halfway point". So in the shots of him running during the Eye Of The Tiger montage,he actually ran 300 miles?

Depends on how you DEFINE it? Did you say all at once? In theory an out of shape person could run a tenth of a mile a day and over 3000 days (less than a decade) they would have run a total of 300 miles.

The longest certified endurance race is the Sri Chinmoy 1300-Miler, in which the participants have 51 days to cover the distance. (That makes an average of over 60 miles per day.)

The clock keeps running so it's technically "non-stop," but the participants obviously do periods of rest for a race that lasts almost two months.

Some runners such as Pam Reed and Dean Karnazes at one point claimed to be pursuing the longest non-stop run (without sleep) at distances of 300 and 350 miles. However, Yiannis Kouros supposedly covered 456 miles in 4 days in 1988 without sleeping at the start of ultimately covering 1000 miles.

IF he trained for 3 months for the fight (90 days) that would be around 3 miles a day, which isn't that much

if you skip 300 miles, it's a better workout.
