Wow that is incredible! 84km a day so could do the CF <10 days! AUD1.82 million raised so far!An Australian guy has just RUN across the continent. 3953km in 47 days. I guess this is irrelevant, but you have to marvel at what a young body is actually capable of.

Bare in mind he had a support crew, giving him massages, drugs, etc along the way. Regardless, what an epic venture!An Australian guy has just RUN across the continent. 3953km in 47 days. I guess this is irrelevant, but you have to marvel at what a young body is actually capable of.
That is very impressive! It reminds me of a local Canadian hero, Rick Hansen. He is a paraplegic who in the mid 80's wheeled his wheelchair 40,000 km and over 30 countries in two years to raise awareness of people with disabilities. An average of 85 km a day! He made a huge impact for change worldwide. When I was walking and having leg pain or foot pain, I thought of Rick and realized that I am going through nothing compared to what he went through.Wow that is incredible! 84km a day so could do the CF <10 days!

Bearing that in mind puts no dent in my amazement. You try it, even with a crew and a massage every day...Bare in mind he had a support crew, giving him massages, drugs, etc along the way.

Speaking of Canadians, let’s not forget Terry Fox and all he did for cancer research.That is very impressive! It reminds me of a local Canadian hero, Rick Hansen.

And Steve Fonyo who, although controversial and who lived a troubled life, continued the journeySpeaking of Canadians, let’s not forget Terry Fox and all he did for cancer research.
Yes - it is amazing! Not something I would ever want to do (the running part)... but I would LOVE to walk across a continent!
Yeah - SOME DAY! Unfortunately what keeps me from doing it is not so easy - and is the problem of most people who want to do it - family, time, and money!Easier than you think. See this thread.
Rick's from my home town. Richmond, BC.That is very impressive! It reminds me of a local Canadian hero, Rick Hansen.

With all the help, it was still his body and legs. Well done mate .Bare in mind he had a support crew, giving him massages, drugs, etc along the way. Regardless, what an epic venture!
Wow incredible!!! I cannot even imagine. Met a chap who was running 40km a day when I did CF! In awe!We met an extreme runner on the CF earlier this year, at an albergue just after Astorga. He'd run from SJPDP and expected to be in SdC in 3 days - running over 50 miles a day. We had an interesting discussion about the Camino experience. He set off at 4.30 am (unfortunately from the bunk above mine!) and ran through to around 6pm, with stops to explore and talk to other pilgrims. His running pack was the smallest I've ever seen.
My average hiking speed on my 1994 was 42K, including the rest days. And that was walking.Wow incredible!!! I cannot even imagine. Met a chap who was running 40km a day when I did CF! In awe!
