I just like that he's raising awareness for epilepsy (for his late brother), but apparently he's a serious runner: hopes to break the record for running a marathon backwards (3:43:39). Who knew they even kept such records?!

I saw this on FB. I believe his Marathon PR is like 3:17. I can’t imagine running an entire marathon backwards.

it's at least 3 hours and 14 seconds, per what he says in the article.

Ok, I was just going off of what I saw on Facebook. Obviously that wasn’t right lol.

I had read this and amazed as that doesn't even sound fun due to the thought of falling (for me anyway) a lot. But he trained so sounds like his mucles are used to it, even his neck (ouch at first getting used to it). Having a friend run with him as a spotter sounds very smart for sure! I wish him the best of luck & awesome he is doing it for Epilepsy.
