Ultra Runner Karl Meltzer Sets Appalachian Trail Record, Fueled by Beer and Candy

He's no ultra runner until he's finished the Barkley Marathons.

Guys who run for crazy amounts of time and distance. For instance Cameron Hanes ran 110 miles in 24 hours a few years ago. He also completed a 70 hour run recently I think.
