One of the best-not the best. He ran marathons.
And the reason why he wasn't the best, many people said, well, because physically he wasn't that fit or suitable for marathons. maximum oxygen capacity was not that high, as high as the top runners in the world. But what he had going for him was that he was the hardest worker on the circuit. He would run in excess of 100 miles a week. Way over 100 miles a week. Worked very hard. Sorry. I wrote it down. Yeah, over 100 miles each week. And he became one of the best runners in the world, but never got to be at the very best. And then what happened? Because of his hard work, over-exertion, he got injured quite seriously and couldn't run for a whole month, as he was training for one of the most important marathons in-this marathon was in Japan.
